Welcome to the March issue of The Highlight
Personal experience can be a powerful driver of the stories we tell — look no further than this month’s cover story for proof. We had a former animal researcher, who happens to be a Vox Future Perfect fellow, dig into the very human consequences of the controversial practice. We have a personal essay of a different sort for March too, focused on what’s in our closets: consider it (personal) style with substance.
We’re also making the case for boredom, investigating whether vitamins are a scam, and asking how a prison should look. Some other things on our minds, and in our issue: Why do American banks take so long to move our money? How will immigration crackdowns affect childcare? And should you be setting rejection goals? Plus, exclusive book recommendations for Vox members.
