Issues

Findings magazine showcases diverse scientists who do cutting-edge research and lead interesting lives. Each issue also contains brief research highlights, a puzzle or other activity, and online extras. You can download slide kits that reinforce the scientific information presented in the two main stories of each issue. View list of all the downloadable free slide kits.
