Its theme is light and color, with articles about animals that glow, colorful metaphorical idioms in assorted languages, and a robot that paints in watercolors.<\/p>\n<p>The issue also features Robert&#8217;s farewell Q&#038;A column. After 13 years on the job, he is turning it over to Lizzie Wade, a thoroughly Muserly young woman who works as the Mexico City correspondent for Robert&#8217;s magazine, <em>Science<\/em>. Although Lizzie never read <em>Muse<\/em> as a child (she was a <em>New Moon<\/em> girl), she is a fine journalist and the living embodiment of quirky geek-chic.
