Editorial Reviews

The Scientist, the magazine of the life sciences, has informed and entertained life science professionals since 1986. It occupies a unique niche in the world of life science publications, providing readers with "serious entertainment". The Scientist keeps subscribers up-to-date with the latest developments, research trends, the business of science, technology advances, scientists-to-watch and useful career advice. Scientists look forward to reading The Scientist. In fact, anyone interested in the relevance and impact of science values our unique voice. Professionals in academia and industry read us to maintain a broad view of the life sciences and keep up with issues and trends in other fields. Science enthusiasts read the insightful articles because they are current, concise and entertaining but also provide a technical, yet approachable overview of the life sciences. With one of the largest readerships of any life science publication and the winner of several editorial and design awards, The Scientist's broad appeal is due to its fresh and unique style which emphasizes readability, topicality and reliability. "...an excellent source of stimulating reading about most every current aspect of science." Lab Manager The Jackson Laboratory "... just the right mix of intelligent reporting on science and the business of science." Professor, USA "...The Scientist has a combination of interesting, new discoveries and also these provocative stories that people sort of discuss but never seem to get investigated. It has a biting edge to it. I like that." Vice President, Leading Scientific Imaging Manufacturer

    5.0 out of 5 stars Cutting edge, related and topics well chosen

    The magazine fits audiences with a broad range of scientific knowledge background. I love the topics chosen and the articles are all about cutting edge technology, scientific discoveries and innovative ideas. While I enjoy reading articles published in scientific journals such as Nature and Cell, I also enjoy reading reviews of work done by multiple research groups and knowing the career path of successful scientists which is very inspiring. Love this magazine!!!

    A terrific and under-appreciated serious science publication. Smarter, better written and better edited than pop science (eg Scientific American), it's a great read for the scientifically literate layperson.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent but wider range of topics would be nicer

    Well written, expert communication of the topics covered. However, it was very biased towards life science topics rather than a sampling of a wide range of topics as they advertise to be. Worth trying once or twice, and see if it is your flavour!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent magazine, free for scientists.

    This is an awesome general science magazine. It has really interesting articles. I'm a medical laboratory scientist and I have a love for all science and I look forward to getting this every month. If you go to the publisher website you can get this magazine sent to your home for free every month if you're a scientist. It takes almost three months, so I paid for the Kindle subscription until then. I highly recommend.

    The magazine has a leftist spin on things. Not surprising probably because it seems all of academia is becoming more left leaning
