Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Cardiologists and dementia researchers spend their days trying to unpick the intricate workings of our bodies’ complex inner machinery.
But to actually peek in and capture a glimpse of these delicate – and messy – systems is a fine blend of art and science.
The British Heart Foundation launched its Reflections of Research prize to celebrate those scientists who can distil the complexity of their work into a single image.
Winners of the 2018 competition were announced on Friday and provide a window on teams working to understand how faults in the brain’s internal plumbing could accelerate dementia, or trying to map the birth of blood vessels in three-dimensions, to see how they recover after a heart attack.
