From the editor:

Greetings from Columbus Ohio, where the Society for Mathematical Biology annual meeting is in session!

Today we feature articles on density-dependent selection, transcriptomic forecasting, sequential mutations and more.

Thanks,

Jeffrey West

1. Does Science Advance One Funeral at a Time?
   ”We examine how the premature death of eminent life scientists alters the vitality of their fields. While the flow of articles by collaborators into affected fields decreases after the death of a star scientist, the flow of articles by non-collaborators increases markedly. This surge in contributions from outsiders draws upon a different scientific corpus and is disproportionately likely to be highly cited. While outsiders appear reluctant to challenge leadership within a field when the star is alive, the loss of a luminary provides an opportunity for fields to evolve in new directions that advance the frontier of knowledge.”

The newsletter now has a dedicated homepage where we post the cover artwork for each issue. We encourage submissions that coincide with the release of a recent paper from your group. This week’s artwork:
