hi! i saw your post about hopeful news you see through scientific magazines and was wondering if there were any you particularly recommend? i dont have institutional access, but i would certainly be willing to subscribe to an reasonably priced one if only so i dont go crazy from all the doom and gloom news out there :)
Trying to catch up on my asks today. ❤️
The one I'm the biggest fan of is Chemical & Engineering Newsletter, which is put out by The American Chemical Society. I'm really glad you all are asking me these things because it's prompting me to realize that there are cheaper subscriptions to a lot of these that just have more limited access.
You have to join ACS to get access, but it looks like for a $0 membership, you can sign up and get access to six articles per month. And I *think* if you sign up to get the email newsletter, you'll be able to see all the titles, but you'll only be able to click six of them and actually read them: https://cen.acs.org/join-us.html
$80 a year gets you access to 10 articles a month, and $160 gets you unlimited access with special pricing for students (undergrad $25, grad: $55).
P.S. I know for a fact you don't have to be working in a STEM industry to join ACS.
I love this science newsletter subscription particularly because it covers multiple fields and does just casually drop major scientific advances in my inbox like they're nothing. It also publishes stories on efforts to make science more inclusive because diversity is a major ACS priority. They published articles on accommodating non-binary folk's bathroom preferences at conferences and updates to the Nemeth Braille code that standardized how chemical bonds are notated for blind chemists (which I also find uplifting to read because I didn't know anyone had ever bothered to translate chemistry into Braille for blind people).
