For instance, I might discuss a neuroscience pitch with mind and brain editor Gary Stix and discover that scientists had attempted similar research five years ago or run a story by space and physics editor Clara Moskowitz and learn about decades-long debates on a potential mechanism.” Sarah also recently led the successful launch of our [new Games section]( which includes a word game called [Spellements]( quirky science news and trivia [quizzes]( and [jigsaw]( and [math puzzles](.
