Our mission
Science /ˈsīəns/ The field of study concerned with discovering and describing the world around us.
We aren’t all scientists, but we’re all impacted by science. That’s why we made it our mission to explain the science of everything — the biology of microscopic organisms, the physics of supermassive black holes, and all the other stuff you need to know. We demystify the world of science to help readers demystify the world around them.
