In this issue of Research Features, we’re excited to cover an extraordinary array of scientific work from across the globe.

Dr Margaret Joan Geller, a pioneering astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, has researched the spatial distribution of galaxies, thereby fundamentally enriching our knowledge of the structure of the universe. Research Features was privileged to speak to Geller about her illustrious career – and the remarkable advancements made in astronomy over her decades in the field.

Charlie Rapple, co-founder and Chief Customer Officer of Kudos, seeks to bridge the gap between the research community and the wider public. He talks to us about the platforms Kudos recently launched, from COVID-19 to climate change to artificial intelligence. Not only do they help people and the media understand more about the progress being made in these research areas, but they also encourage them to form opinions and make decisions based on quality evidence.

We’re sure this issue of Research Features has something to interest everyone. So delve right in and discover the fascinating research inside!
