The caption of the first figure says "An interactive version of the illustration on the American Scientist website...". Where, please?

Hello Dr. Fineman, please check out the interactive versions of the graphics in the sections of the article, below the print versions of the illustrations.

Dear Dr Saunders: Thank you for the doctorate %^). The only interactive version I find is for the *last* figure. The others offer, at most, an opportunity to enlarge.

Without knowing what operating system you use, I cannot be sure how to guide you. But for instance, on page 2, there is the static pyramid figure and a clickable interactive pyramid figure slightly below it.

About once a month at Sigma Xi headquarters, we liven up the lunch hour with an American Scientist Pizza Lunch talk. In these informal lectures, scientists describe new research to nonscientists. The series is light on jargon but heavy on solid science. Each Pizza Lunch offers an in-depth look at its subject, whether it's bedbugs or the smart grid.

JSTOR, the online academic archive, now contains complete back issues of American Scientist from its inception in 1913 (as Sigma Xi Quarterly) through 2005.
The table of contents for each issue is freely available to all users; those with institutional access can read each complete issue.
