You will NOT like this one bit

I like New Scientist, but I have noticed that the number of substantial content pages (as opposed to advert pages) have been steadily dwindling over recent years.

The migration of research appointment ads to online from hardcopy publications must be hitting them hard, unfortunately, and may be a terminal blow.

Allegedly they make most of their £70M from subscriptions so it would be unwise to mess with that. Maybe having someone who understands science would be handy for the Wail?

The science behind butt implants

That reminds me of a flight where I ended up sitting next to the UK's butt implant king. He made a fortune doing it as a plastic surgeon. The most interesting bit was when I asked him how they deal with the "bandages off" moment after a nose job to influence the patient to like what they see. He said they often give them drugs first to make sure the patients are in a good mood!
