In addition, Science News just released an app featuring a special report on consciousness. In three in-depth articles and one essay, Science News neuroscience writer Laura Sanders and editor-in-chief Tom Siegfried tackle one of the most enduring questions in science: What is consciousness? They describe the latest progress in efforts to investigate and explain self-awareness, including details of new brain studies and the emergence of information theory–inspired conceptions of consciousness. This is the first stand-alone app on a specific topic produced by Science News.
