Graphical image. A centre circle contains a lightbulb and the words, Creative Exercises. Surrounding the circle are a speech bubble, five circles and another speech bubble all connected by an arrow from left to right. The left speech bubble says What's organic chemistry? The right says I learned a lot this semester! The circles each contain a chemistry concept. Beneath the centre is the phrase, Response requirements. Under this are three blocks named: Correct, Relevant, Distinct
What a way to end the week: announcing the winner of the 2025 cover vote!
Congratulations to Krystal Greiger and Alexey Leontyev.
The artwork accompanying their paper on creative exercises in organic chemistry won 48% of the vote.

The image is a promotional graphic for "The Science Teaching Survey 2026" featuring logos of several organizations: Royal Society of Chemistry, The Royal Society, Royal Society of Biology, IOP Institute of Physics, and ASE Association for Science Education. The design includes a colourful, abstract map of the UK. The text asks, "What's missing in science education? Tell us what you need."
📝 The Science Teaching Survey 2026 is open! If you work in education, you know the challenges better than anyone – so we want to hear directly from you.
