The theme for October’s issue of Nexus was The Pursuit of Truth. The idea of truth is an abstract one, and there can be several diverse interpretations of its meanings.

There are many ways in which the truth can be threatened in the real world: for example, through misinformation, censorship, and bias. Truth is a part of our everyday lives and influences the trajectories of individuals and nations alike. It is also the subject of countless questions in the area of philosophy that have persisted through mankind’s evolution, as well as the rise and fall of great civilizations.

Through the articles in this issue, our writers have connected to the theme of truth in their own unique and fascinating ways, explicating their views in various disciplines -- from digital literacy to radiocarbon dating. We hope you enjoy reading!
