SEED - Science is Culture

I've been reading the monthly periodical SEED since it came out and look forward to its articles that blend the multi- disciplines of Science with our lives and society. The articles are extremely readable and the 'look and feel' of SEED is beautifully designed.

In the recent September 2006 issue there is a fascinating article on the impact of AIDS over the last twenty five years ago. The magazine also has interviews, current science research, elegant photographs and amazing illustrations of the natural world.

I particluarly liked the article How We Know by the Editor at Large, Jonah Lehrer on the relevance of how one learns by doing things. He sights how an Algebra class in Cambridge, MA, the success of Toyota and a classical musician are inextricably linked.

Enjoy Seed online, but try to get in the newsstand, the print piece is a pleasure to leaf through.
