Abstract:
-
Complex questions, the need for interdisciplinary approaches and
multiple collaborators, as well as financial stresses are among the
factors affecting the way science is done and communicated. I have
worked at Science magazine for more than 20 years and my talk will
describe some of the changes I have seen and how Science magazine is
meeting new challenges.
