News Brief
Find an article in a major research journal like Science or Scientific American on a recent scientific breakthrough and write a three paragraph news brief capturing the controversy and excitement of it all. Your article should start with a catchy opening phrase that will make people want to read the rest of the story, like "Scientists have forgotten all they once knew about memory." "In a world of cyberdreams, Dr. X is a living nightmare." "Rutgers bio-geologist Dr. Y has discovered that men really are islands."
