SA gives one an overview of what is going on in the scientific community. In today’s busy world that's just what you need to keep up.
most of the articles are very legible. Occasionally I'll come across one that I find needs more concentration. Overall the quality is good and an objective reporting style seems inherent to the magazine. In short, I hope the editors keep up the good work!

Nadeel: er zit erg veel reclame in
Con's: too much advertisement.
Do you like science, energy, space or nanotechnology, then maybe you are interested

When I was a student (forty years ago) I sometimes read an article in the sciam. In my opinion the explanations are now somewhat more superficial. I also remember those elaborate puzzles for witch I had no time to solve.
Nevertheless sciam is still worth while to read.

SA is a great magazine that I usually read for entertainment. It is great to stay up to date with latest scientific developments whilst at the same time reading a lot of interesting "did you know that..." stories.
What I don't like is the agressive marketing policy; I move around the world a lot and frequently change address. as a result I often do not receive SA for months and sometimes get a whole stack of them together with re-possession threats because I did not pay the bill for next year in time. I would very much like an option to subscribe just for the period you pay for, without the need to cancel, just to renew after a timely renewal notice.

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.
