I remember them being described as "The National Enquirer of Science" a good 10 years ago.
Just today I was in the Library and looking at "Science" and "Scientific American" both of which seem to be a lot more "popularist" than I remember them from when i was a kid, but maybe I just didn't notice then.
- semi-extrinsic 10y agoI'm planning on subscribing to one of these, currently favoring Scientific American after flipping through some copies at the library. What (if anything) would people recommend instead? I work as a scientist, so I don't want over-popularised clickbait.
- nkrisc 10y agoAs a layman I find Scientific American goes into sufficient detail that I learn new things but is still approachable enough for me to grasp. They also seem to generally avoid sensationalist writing, providing plenty of caveats when discussing something theoretical or unproven.
