The Yale Scientific Magazine (YSM) is a scientific magazine published quarterly by undergraduate students from Yale University.[1] It was founded at the Sheffield Scientific School of Yale in 1894.[1] It was the first student magazine devoted to the sciences, and is currently the oldest collegiate science quarterly in the United States.[1] Before 1927, it was originally called Yale Scientific Monthly or Yale Sheffield Monthly.[1]
Over 100 students are involved in various aspects of the magazine, including writing, editorial, production, art, multimedia, website, and business. It now has about 2,000 subscribers around the world. Article topics covered by Yale Scientific Magazine includes disciplines in science, mathematics, and engineering at Yale and beyond. As the student science publication on campus, the magazine presents and promotes achievements, knowledge, and activities in the sciences, medicine, and engineering at the University.
