Science Spin Magazine Description:

Publisher: albertine-kennedy-publishing

Category: Science

Language: English

Frequency: Bi-Monthly

An independent science magazine presenting science in a way that is accessible, relevant and interesting to all readers. Coverage of science extends from astronomy to zoology, and features are written with both general public and specialists in mind.

Science Spin was established in 2003 to provide an independent platform for reporting on science. Science Spin takes a local view of science both at home and abroad, and in this way it is different from international magazines.
