The two bimonthly issues I read (Jan/Feb'20 and Mar/Apr'20) were absolutely full of engaging, relevant, and relatable scientific articles, mini-articles, and photos. The main topics of focus are identified as The Sciences, Mind, Technology, Health, Environment, and Planet Earth. I was extremely impressed at the scope of the subject matter. Each issue addressed 40 topics of interest from all over the globe (and the universe), with researchers from every continent represented. Subjects included treating disease by "editing" genes, several countries' recent achievements and attempts to travel to the moon and beyond, archaeological finds in Asia, the Middle East, Pacific Islands, and South America, development of CBD applications, discoveries of new species, laboratory creation of artificial blood vessels, new treatments for depression, and studies showing social impact of female leadership. So much fascinating stuff to learn about!
Not only did I enjoy finding interesting information about subjects I don't consider every day, or know much about; but also, as I read, I felt a lot of respect for the scientists and mathematicians who are producing these studies and developing new technologies. I imagine that students would feel inspired to pursue a career in the sciences as a result of reading Discover Magazine.
This periodical is not written on an easy-reading level, nor are all of its articles appropriate for young children. Stories about mind-altering drugs or human sacrifice practiced in ancient cultures might be inappropriate for certain age groups.
Target audience: high school students, college students, and other adults.
