YOUR AD HERE

BlueSci is published at the start of each university term and 3000 copies are circulated to all Cambridge University colleges and departments, and to our paid subscribers. However, this doesn’t come cheap, and we rely on our partners and paid subscribers to keep us going.

We are also seeking new partnerships. If you would like to sponsor a student-run society teaching key science communications skills with reach across Cambridge University and beyond, we would love to hear from you!

BlueSci was established in 2004 to provide a student forum for science communication. As the longest running science magazine in Cambridge, BlueSci publishes the best science writing from across the University each term. We combine high quality writing with stunning images to provide fascinating yet accessible science to everyone. But BlueSci does not stop there. At www.bluesci.co.uk, we have extra articles, regular news stories, podcasts and science films to inform and entertain between print issues. Produced entirely by members of the University, the diversity of expertise and talent combine to produce a unique science experience.
