  • Our cover story this week, and the first article that will bring you on this podcast,

  • considers what a Trump victory in 2024 would mean.

  • The second story we've got for you investigates how to encourage scientific innovation,

  • which has been waning in recent years.

  • We argue that it's time to experiment with how science is funded.

  • And our final pick this week comes from Bartleby, our column on work and management.

  • Our columnist explores something we're all too familiar with,

  • the curse of the badly run meeting.
