New Scientist

New Scientist has the best coverage of science news.

Articles are understandable and interesting. I learn something new either each read. I love being able to play articles when I can’t read them (such as when I’m driving).

I do not have the subscription. That being said I make sure I limit the number of articles I actually go into every month bc you are only allowed 3. For the past 4 months I have not been allowed to read ANY OF THE ARTICLES. I go into read an article I am genuinely interested in and I automatically get closed out saying I need to buy the subscription . I should have 3 free articles every month per user agreement. I literally cannot access any articles and because of this am continually missing out on important information I would like to learn. Fix this or get back to me cuz this is highly frustrating.

This is one of my favorite journals, so much so that I subscribe to the hard copy as well as online. Some years ago I discontinued owing to hassles related to logging in. I renewed here recently and — surprise — the same problem occurred again! The problem is that they have two email addresses for me and somehow the system chokes. This time around I think their *excellent* support has resolved the issue. We shall see. This is a popular magazine filled with articles suitable for laypersons and intelligent high school kids. I have a doctoral degree, but not in quantum physics or anthropology or math or other complex fields. Their writers are also excellent, with compelling accounts related to big ideas and world-changing science. They do their homework well. The magazine is thin, not like the old days when such publications were hefty. But if you love hands on, the high price is worth it. If you are on Apple News you can access it there as well. It’s also a WEEKLY publication, which is wonderful. I am a behavioral science guy, and the articles in my vast field are very well done and valuable. It easily earns five stars. This is not an academic science journal. It’s a popular magazine. Therein lies the greatness. It’s the science source for the rest of us.

This publication’s content far outweighs its costs

Unparalleled science reporting that clearly conveys complex information in a concise manner. Add a dash of British humor and what’s not to love?! Check out the podcast, too!

I have been a fan of science information my whole life (thanks to the lead of my wonderful Dad). Most news is anywhere from totally superficial to massively negative. Science-related news is a window into hope, greater understanding, and a better world from great efforts to know as much as possible in order TO IMPROVE THINGS! Science news is POSITIVE instead of negative. It is POSITIVE to learn new things, to HOPE for a better tomorrow. I highly recommend NewScientist as a launching pad to greater knowledge and ultimately a better life for all of us!

In these days of disinformation and a return to superstitions, fact denials and lies, it is such a relief to be able to trust a reliable source of information. To truly know what is being studied around the world means everything.
