BASIS SciMag

About

A science magazine made by BASIS students.

BASIS SciMag gives students a place to write about biology, ecology, genetics, neuroscience, and scientific methods. We make science approachable for students, families, and educators while keeping sources, uncertainty, and careful editing visible.

Editorial principlesHow we work

Check the evidence

We explain whether a result comes from cells, model organisms, observational data, or clinical research.

Explain uncertainty

We include limitations and open questions so readers understand what a study does and does not show.

Label and credit visuals

Captions explain what an image shows, who made it, and whether it is a photograph, diagram, or illustration.

Write for understanding

We explain technical terms clearly while preserving the science behind them.

For students
