Letter from the Editors: Issue 10

Dear readers,
It is our pleasure to bring you the last issue of the Pulse of the World for the Academic Year 2009-2010. It has been a steep learning curve since taking over the Pulse of the World in the beginning of the Spring Semester, but for all the members of the Pulse team I think it has also been an interesting and fun creative process. With each issue we see the Pulse developing even further and the team continuing to expand and grow. This semester we saw spam wars, very opinionated front pages, recycled paper (or lack thereof) and articles on everyone from the Large Particle Hadron-Collider to a look beyond the “Wall” at what the neighbors really think of Jacobs University.
We as the executive board would like to thank everyone responsible for bringing out the five issues this spring semester – to the old executive board who made it possible for us to have a paper to take over and gave us a lot of support and help in doing so, the writers (both those who regularly write for the Pulse amidst their busy schedules and also those who drop us an article from time to time), the technical editors who work hard to transform pieces into the final version that is printed in the pulse, the cartoonists and photographers who provide illustrations for our pages, and the layout editors who put it all together and make it look great... Thank you!
We are looking forward to continuing Pulse next year, and to seeing how both the paper and the website develop further. The Pulse is a train in motion picking up more and more ideas and directions as it runs. We are looking forward to seeing where it goes next year!

We wish you a great summer break!
Savannah, Jan-Matthis, Valentina and Oliver
