The placard

Science journalism dressed for the occasion: every feature opens under a commissioned illustration that treats an abstraction — a proof, a particle, a protein — as something worth painting. The reading column is disciplined, the diagrams are built rather than borrowed, and the whole surface says the ideas deserve production values usually spent on celebrity profiles. It hangs here for the conviction that difficulty and beauty are not opposites, argued in layout on every page.
