Science Magazine
- Our team of writers and peer editors work together to brainstorm, create, and publish an online science magazine. With the goal of making complex science accessible to a broad audience, we publish in three sections: news, features, and spotlight interviews. Articles feature a range of disciplines, including neuroscience, environmental science, astronomy, math, and bioethics. We also highlight research at Duke and beyond.
