In this issue, we launch Spin ACTIVE, a new supplement that covers applied science and the transfer of technology and results into industry. We have profiles of some of the students that took part in the BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition, 2010; an award winning essay, asking Who owns your DNA? Elsewhere, we have a spectacular collection of Earth science photographs, a feature report describing the operation and geology of the Castlecomer coal mines, Co Kilkenny where hundreds once worked. We have the first in a series of features on the brain, and its workings, and we have a report that examines the geology that led to the tragic earthquake that hit Haiti.
