Issue 354: 38 covers –that is our tally for 2025! Ranging fromdepictions ofspatial point patterns (#324), negative spaces between Kaplan-Meier curves (#329), antifragility (#339), and the structure of our Mathonco community (#340, 347), the artists in our ranks have again outdone themselves. I still remember the lunch time conversation I had with Jeffrey West in which we first discussed the idea of cover artwork for thenewsletter. We thought it would be fun anddecided to run a trial for a few weeks. That was now almost 5 years ago, and this year we published our 200thcover –an incredible milestone, which would not have been possible without the effort every single one of our artists has put in (and there are more than 70 of you now). In addition, I want to thank my co-editor Sarah Groves for all her hard work this year, and welcome Veronika Hofmann to the team, who joined over the summer and hasalready helped to curate some amazing pieces!For those of you who recently joined our community: every week we feature a piece of artwork which was created from a recently published paper(see myblog postfor more details on the process). Importantly, while our artwork editorial team stands by to assist,the authors are the lead artists behind their piece. Intrigued, but don’t think you have an artistic streak? Don’t worry and reach out to us. We always love to hear from you and are happy to help.
