Brian Stauffer is a Miami-based illustrator who blends photography, paintings and found objects to explore contemporary social issues. His work regularly appears on the covers and pages of The New York Times, Time, Rolling Stone, and New Scientist, among others. In 2005, his portrait of George W. Bush for The Nation was voted one of the top 40 magazine covers of the past 40 years by the American Society of Magazine Editors. On the cover of this issue and in Losing your Lab, Stauffer gets under the skin of a scientist who loses his grant funding. "I tried to put myself in the shoes of this scientist who is working to do something valuable but feels helpless," he says.
