About the cover: The cover illustration incorporates an image of a member of the picornavirus family (which includes foot-and-mouth disease, polio and the common cold), which was created through cryoelectron microscopy in the lab of R. Holland Cheng. He’s one of the many researchers on campus working to better understand infectious diseases. We discuss their work in "Epidemics on the Horizon." Cover design by Jay Leek.
