Publications like this serve as entry-level information for people who are interested in science or want to stay abreast of the news but don't have a science education or the aspiration to develop professional knowledge. I prefer reading papers to explainer articles, but I still remember being shocked by the steepness of the learning curve I encountered the first time I bought a copy of Nature.
- BeetleB 2y agoThere's a large gap between Nature and, say, Popular Science. Take a look at a typical 80's Scientific American and compare with now. Heck, I suspect even today's Scientific American is still better than Popular Science (although I haven't compared them in over 20 years).
- anigbrowl 2y agoYes....that's why I described magazines like this as 'entry level.'
