Science Spin - January/February 2015

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. Our goal is to present 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. Two new supplements have added value for readers from business and industry, and those involved in education. Spin Active reports on the applied side of science and research, while School Spin focuses on science in education. Many of Ireland's leading science journalists, educators and researchers contribute news and features, all of which can now be accessed from any part of the world in our digital editions.
