“Collaborations are, quite simply, the best way of doing science,” writes Kevin Bender, a professor of neurology, for @[email protected]. He gives tips on finding the right people to work with and ensuring those relationships stay healthy. His advice is targeted at fellow neuroscientists, but applies to lots of different professions.

And finally, to Luling, Texas and its annual Watermelon Thump, which has taken place every June for the past seven decades. Mitchell Pitcher writes for @[email protected] about the fruit-growing competition and auction (one year a single watermelon fetched $35,000), and the contest to become Watermelon Thump Queen. Before the winner is announced, the outgoing queen speaks, recalling her grandfather’s tears when she won in 2023 because when he immigrated to the States, he would never have imagined his granddaughter representing a town.
