For many of us, the weather is cooling off and the nights are drawing in. But there’s plenty of good news to be had – from new ways of visualizing (and treating!) cancer to detailed heart maps and AI for bioinformatics. Keep a close eye out and your careful work might even be rewarded with a rare sighting of a mythical creature (see below)!
