Science

A SCIENCE MAGAZINE that has absolutely nothing to do with science. This was one of the ideas we touted around in our earlier group meetings before deciding to settle on the current paradigm for I, Science: a magazine that shows science in its societal context. With the possible exception of the metaphorical front cover, everything in this magazine is clearly related to science. From the comedy of the Punk Scientists through to the opinion pieces on the relationship between science and religion, and the interviews with prominent media scientists - the articles in this magazine show how science interacts with society, culture, the media and government.

Science is the academic journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and is considered one of the world's most prestigious scientific journals. The peer-reviewed journal, first published in 1880 is circulated weekly and has a print subscriber base of around 130,000. Because institutional subscriptions and online access serve a larger audience, its estimated readership is one million people. The major focus of the journal is publishing important original scientific research and research reviews, but Science also publishes science-related news, opinions on science policy and other matters of interest to scientists and others who are concerned with the wide implications of science and technology. Although most scientific journals focus on a specific field, Science and its rival Nature cover the full range of scientific disciplines.
