I am extremely pleased to announce that a new popular science magazine has started in the UK and that I've been working with them for several months because they kindly asked me to write their very first cover story.  Science Uncovered is a monthly magazine from Future Publishing.

Their website says, "Science Uncovered brings together renowned scientists from around the globe to explain how the world around you works. From the far reaches of the Universe to the inner workings of your brain, these experts will provide you with a window into the very boundaries of our knowledge. You'll be able to peer into the future and see how today's breakthroughs will change how we live."

My cover story is titled Closing in on alien life: discover the planets most likely to host our neighbours. Issue 1 is available now from newsagents and supermarkets, or online. Best of all, the first issue only costs £1.
