In this first issue of 2025, Scientia showcases the exciting work of researchers who, in vastly different ways, share the common goal of helping build a brighter future for us and for our future generations. Across the spectrum of scientific inquiry and research, we can read about groundbreaking advances in our understanding of society and culture, health and disease, our world and the universe, and much more.

Our featured research in Earth & Environmental Sciences emphasises sustainability in agricultural practice, and in Medical & Health Sciences and Life Sciences & Biology, we showcase key developments in dentistry and cancer treatment. We present exciting and, at times, challenging new ideas in Physical Science and Engineering & Computer Science. Finally, in Psychology & Neuroscience and Education & Training, we share new advances in understanding and promoting holistic well-being.
