IRELAND'S SCIENCE WILDLIFE AND DISCOVERY MAGAZINE. 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.
