Issue 6 is (finally) here!

Issue 6 is out! Sorry it took us a while, but we hope you enjoy this one! In this issue, we have decided to take a look into the future and focus on the theme of “What lies beyond”. On page 11 and 13, we take look at what happens to our bodies after we die and all the options you have. If you are more concerned with the more immediate future, go to page 3 for an insight into the world after graduation, or read all about the NEPG conference on page 5 for some more inspiration on career choices. Or, if you'd rather not think about that right now (we completely understand), check out the articles on the future of mineral mining (page 7) and the questions of whether or not you can be too old to become a great scientist (the answer is no, you will be relieved to see – page 16). We have also been out and about to give you first-hand accounts of the Body Worlds: Vital exhibition at the Life Science Ccentre (page 20) and the Sparks North East hack day (page 15). Our regular puzzle sections are of course also present, as is the science profile. Lastly, we are always looking for new contributors – editing, writing, illustrating or just helping out with distribution, whatever takes your fancy, we would love to hear from you. We would also like to thank everyone for keeping {react} going throughout two years. We have recently been awarded funding by the university postgraduate innovation fund to keep us going for at least one more year and this would not have been possible without your support, both as contributors and readers.
