Opinion
The case for the JASONs p351
Two of the most secretive research operations in the United States have chosen a strange time to embark on an unseemly and unnecessary public row, potentially undermining the advice available to the administration on national defence.

Rights, wrongs and ignorance p351
Whether or not animals have 'rights', we should learn more about their capacity for suffering.

Conflicts of interest: Can you believe what you read? p360
Scientists' financial interests can bias the papers and review articles that they write, studies suggest. But what can editors do to police the issue? Frank van Kolfschooten examines journals' policies on conflicts of interest.

Neuroimaging: The sight of two brains talking p364
By simultaneously scanning the brains of contestants playing a simple game, researchers aim to study how social interactions affect brain activity. Steve Nadis meets the scientists who think two heads are better than one.

動物行動学：自殺シグナルの進化
Animal behaviour: Evolution of suicidal signals p375
To deter predators, some organisms have evolved protective mechanisms and warning colorations. Innovative mathematical modelling shows how the first animals with these signals might have managed to survive.

物理化学：水から氷を作り出す
Physical chemistry: Sculpting ice out of water p376
Computer simulations are illuminating the molecular processes through which water is transformed into ice — and offering insight into crystallization more generally.

神経生物学：心の平穏を保つセロトニン
Neurobiology: Serotonin sustains serenity p377
An elegant variation on conventional gene-knockout techniques can delete a gene at specific times and locations in mice. The approach shows when and where a serotonin receptor protein is needed during development.

宇宙生物学：生命の種？
Astrobiology: Seeds of life? p380
Amino acids, a basic constituent of life, can form in dust grains that are similar to those found in the space between stars. But how much does this tell us about the origins of life on Earth?

Cell biology: The ubiquitin connection p381
The cellular world has some daunting problems for biologists. For example, cells use the ubiquitin molecule in different ways to achieve different effects. These tangled events come under the spotlight in new work.
