Customer Reviews of Science News

Great weekly for the general reader
Science matters. You already know that. You want to stay on top of what's happening in medicine, space research, earth studies, and more. That's because you know things like AIDS, earthquakes, and changing weather patterns all have huge significance to human needs and social policy. But you don't have the time or the specialized knowledge to plow through piles of academic journals every week, hunting the nuggets that mean the most and translating them into the language of normal, educated reader. <

>You want Science News. It's brief and readable, so you don't have to dedicate half your week to keeping up with what really matters. It's weekly, which matters in a world where month-old news is old news. And it's written so that any concerned citizen can understand the science and the issues. The editors don't write down to the readers, but they don't assume specialized education either. Intelligent high-schoolers or precocious tween-agers can grasp the important parts of each story, but specialists (including one university prof I know) use it to keep up with news outside of their research areas. <

Science News
I had subscribed to Science News for many years and somehow let it expire when I moved. I missed it greatly and was so glad to start receiving it again. It seems to be the best way to stay current on many fields of science.

Science updates in manageable doses
I really enjoy this magazine and have subscribed to it for almost six years now. The fact that it turns up in my mail box every week and provides information on what's new in the scientific literature in small incremental doses that I can read in the limited amount of free time at my disposal is a definite plus. Almost every scientific topic in which I hold an interst is covered at least in the shorter articles, and several have been covered in greater detail in the longer ones. I find the letters to the editor exceptionally useful in that the questions proposed by readers are answered by the authors and clarify issues that may have been confusing to me also. In some instances, the criticisms provided by readers who have some professional knowledge of the topic have actually added to the value of the article.
