Hello science readers, I hope you’re well! 

I have had the pleasure of working with so many amazing people in the last year, including writers, columnists, and associates. 

One of my goals as the Science Editor was to increase our mental health coverage to provide more accessible information to the student body. Some of my favourite pieces to review in this volume were explainers on things like the biological basis of depression, or summaries of what mental health apps work best. I am very happy with what we have accomplished together. 

This is also a special thank you to Mash and Ridhi for being such dedicated associates. I would also like to thank my columnists: Santhija, Mehar, Jeanine, Carolyn, and Charlie. I took a lot of pride in editing articles together, coordinating event coverage, and learning about all of your interests and ideas for pitches. I could not have done this without you all.

To the readers, as this very long year comes to an end, I want to thank you for reading everything we have been working on since May. Whether it was through picking up a copy of our paper or clicking a link or two on the website, I hope you learned something from my section and that you stay tuned for what comes next.

Stay curious!
