This week's issue

摘要

Dear reader, Firstly, as ever, thank you for reading. Secondly, os will be obvious to you, the emergence of this novel coronavirus has led us into uncertain times, and alongside every business and institution in the world, we are having to plan, on the basis of the best data we have access to, for what could be difficult times ahead. New Scientist already has plans in place to keep its staff as safe as possible, and to ensure the smooth production of our journalism in the event that public life is curtailed even further in the days or weeks ahead. We are also talking to all our colleagues in our publishing and supply chain to try to ensure the continued production of the magazine in those circumstances.
