Pros: Articles are in-depth and well-written Cons: Occasional article is too deep
"SA is one magazine that is eagerly awaited in my household. I always learn something fascinating in each issue and there is always plenty of food for thought. The articles are extremely well-written and researched. Usually, they are technical enough without being too technical. Occasionally, an article gets too mumbo-jumbo and I stop reading it, but that is the exception. The mag has a great website, too. My husband and I are always saying to one another, "Did you see that article in this month's Scientific American?" The mag has sparked many great conversations."

Excellent magazine,
June 28, 2007
By Jole
"Great magazine for the "non-scientist". The focus is on THE SCIENCE. Unlike the MSM, SA does not allow itself to get swayed by political (and corporate) interests that so often leads to debunked charlatans too much space on "controversial" issues such as stemcells and global warming."

Somewhat biased,
February 28, 2007
By Fayettebill
"Excellent magazine although they have a huge bias on global warming. Rather than share debate they have closed their mind to researchers like Shaviv, Veiser, Singer, Hu and others who postulate that solar radiation may be the prime driver of warming not CO2."
