AI Thread Summary
For college seniors majoring in physics seeking a suitable science magazine, "Nature" and "Science" are highly regarded options, both known for their prestigious content. "American Scientist" is also recommended for its focus on original articles without excessive political content. Additionally, obtaining an APS student membership in the U.S. provides access to "Physics Today" for free, which is beneficial for serious physics students. While "Physics Today" primarily focuses on physics, it may occasionally include interdisciplinary articles, including topics like molecular biology. "Scientific American" is another magazine mentioned as a good choice for broader scientific coverage.

Hello friends. I am a senior in college, majoring in physics, and want to know what the best science magazine for me to subscribe to would be. I would like a magazine that isn't impossible for me to read, but that isn't "watered down" either. Any suggestions? TY.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Nature?
 
Hmm...seems pretty prestigious. What about Science? Is that one any good?
 
Nature and Science are generally considered to be of the same caliber, just one's American and the other European...

Yes! I had heard about this one. According to wikipedia, it's pretty prestigious, and features only original articles. TY for confirming its quality.
 
Get an APS student membership if you are in the US. You will get Physics Today free with it. And if you are serious about Physics, you will need the membership in any case.

Yes, but does Physics Today include information from other scientific disciplines? Clearly the focus is on physics, but I would like to know if you might find a few articles on say...molecular biology in there.
