Monthly Science Magazine – Eureka

The Times recently started publishing a monthly popular science magazine as part of their Thursday edition. I’ve browsed the first issue and it’s not bad, nice at least to see a major newspaper promoting science like this.

You can read the first issue online here, hopefully they will make all of them available online as they are published.

The Times has played a key role in covering science since 1785, from being the forum where Alfred Nobel, Charles Darwin and Einstein discussed ideas, to hiring our first Science Correspondent in 1911 and the first Ocean Correspondent in 2008. In launching Eureka, we recognise that many readers crave a better understanding of how science can transform our lives and our planet, which demands rigorous, engaging and inspirational reporting. No other newspaper has made the commitment to cover these subjects with as much depth and breadth as The Times. Eureka will cover a wide spectrum of topics ranging from life sciences to earth sciences and from green issues to oceanography. Its focus will be on the latest scientific developments, how and why they matter, the people behind them and solutions for the future. Each edition will carry great writing, beautiful photography and detailed graphics. Issue 1, free with The Times on October 8th, looks at the 15 ideas that may change our world in the future.
