A Review of Scientific American Magazine
Jason Canon asked:
From Quantum Black Holes to Neuromorphic Microchips Scientific
American Magazine has the coverage to keep your young or mature
science enthusiasts learning and growing. This magazine never
fails to deliver thought provoking stories targeted to the
audience that is driving the latest innovations and changes
around the globe. There is little surprise in the statistic that
over 90% of Scientific American readers are passionately in love
with the magazine.
Scientific American features authoritative articles written by
the scientists who are doing the research. It is edited,
however, so that any interested layperson will feel right at
home reading about the latest scientific discoveries. The
magazine only employs mathematics sparingly where necessary to
support the text. This is one reason that makes Scientific
American more comparable to say Popular Science than the
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE)
publications.
This magazine is heavily weighted with content and consistently
light on the advertising, making it an excellent read. The SciAM
Marketplace section in the back nicely integrates the latest
technology gadgets in without ever creating the atmosphere of a
sales pitch. Furthermore, the majority of full page and other
advertisers leave you with a “we get it” impression by
incorporating some elements of scientific interest.
Scientific American is the oldest continuously published
magazine in the United States. It has been reporting about
developments in science and technology for more than 150 years.
A restless inventor named Rufus Porter founded the publication
in 1845 as a weekly that was titled “The Advocate of Industry
and Enterprise, and Journal of Mechanical and Other
Improvements.”
Scientific American can boast that in addition to the likes of
Albert Einstein, Francis Crick, Jonas Salk and Linus Pauling,
more than 120 Nobel laureates have written for the magazine.
Most of them wrote about their prize-winning works years before
they were recognized by the Nobel Committee.
Year after year when asked “what would you like for your
birthday” I am proud to be among those who respond “another
subscription to Scientific American.”
