On supporting science journalism
If you're enjoying this article, consider supporting our award-winning journalism by subscribing. By purchasing a subscription you are helping to ensure the future of impactful stories about the discoveries and ideas shaping our world today.
We are now about to closo the present volume of our journal, a-icl W3 appeal to its staunch friends in all sections of fie country to endeavor to form clubs for the coming year. We feel justified in asserting that no other journal in this country furnishes the same amount of use'nl reading. Think of the extraordinarily low prie at whica it can bo obtained. Fifteen persons can club together and get the paper at $1 50 each for one year. Twenty persons clubbing together can have it at the rate of only $1 40. Think of getting a volume of 832 pages of useful reading matter profusely illustrated with between 500 and 600 original engravings for such a small sum of money. Single subscriptions one year, $2 ; six months, $ 1. Even though the times may be hard, the long winter evening must be relieved of its dullness, and we must keep reading and thinking, and thus be prepared to overcome temporary difficulties and open new channels of wealth and prosperity. Friends, send in your clubs.
It’s Time to Stand Up for Science
If you enjoyed this article, I’d like to ask for your support. Scientific American has served as an advocate for science and industry for 180 years, and right now may be the most critical moment in that two-century history.
I’ve been a Scientific American subscriber since I was 12 years old, and it helped shape the way I look at the world. SciAm always educates and delights me, and inspires a sense of awe for our vast, beautiful universe. I hope it does that for you, too.
If you subscribe to Scientific American, you help ensure that our coverage is centered on meaningful research and discovery; that we have the resources to report on the decisions that threaten labs across the U.S.; and that we support both budding and working scientists at a time when the value of science itself too often goes unrecognized.
In return, you get essential news, captivating podcasts, brilliant infographics, can't-miss newsletters, must-watch videos, challenging games, and the science world's best writing and reporting. You can even gift someone a subscription.
There has never been a more important time for us to stand up and show why science matters. I hope you’ll support us in that mission.
