Perhaps you should consider adding some more content and links to this post, instead of it's current PepsiBlue advert-like appearance?

Incidentally, I think the magazine has some good but uneven writing, judging from a free copy a got a while back. It also seemed to have a very heavy cultural/social slant on the science, more than you might see in Scientific American or New Scientist.

Here is an interview done with the precocious publisher Adam Bly on Talk of the Nation Science Friday when the magazine was launched.

Boing Boing mentioned this magazine the other day. Cory called it "a Maxim for science, something that makes science cool and relevant and edgy."

No comment.

I've browsed it a coupla times. Five-second review: meh. Nice pictures, lots of hand-wringing and not much else.


For all it's faults (and zany enthusiasms), I'll stick to New Scientist, thanks.

I find Seed uneven, but the writings of Jonah Lehrer -- as in this profile of physicist Brian Greene and this article about Proust and neuroscience -- are marvelous. Lehrer is in his early 20s, by the way, and a Rhodes scholar -- a science writer to watch.

lots of hand-wringing

Like its jumping on the mercury / vaccines / autism bandwagon.

I searched and I couldn't find the website that had free pepsi blue. What is the link?
