In “The SN 10: These scientists defy limits to tackle big problems” (SN: 10/13/18, p. 18), Science News profiled 10 early- and mid-career scientists who are pushing boundaries to answer pressing questions facing science and society.
Some readers had strong reactions to the profiles.
Charles Eby praised stories about the SN 10 scientists. “Of course I love to read about new discoveries, but with this article, I realized how much more I enjoy hearing about the people and their discoveries,” he wrote. “A well-written book about science is filled with stories about the scientists and their struggles and idiosyncrasies, their successes and failures. Your stories about the SN 10 were well written and most enjoyable as well as inspiring.”
