Science and technology media brand Scientific American has announced the addition of 35 members– including scientists, academics, and entrepreneurs - to its Board of Advisors. Acting Editor-in-Chief Mariette DiChristina introduces the new Board of Advisors in the November issue of Scientific American, published online this week.
It is expected that the advisors will give Scientific American feedback on story proposals and manuscripts. The new advisors include: Nobel laureates David Gross and Steven Weinberg; Astronomer Royal and President of the Royal Society Lord Martin Rees; Executive Director of the National Center for Science Education Eugenie C. Scott; cyberlaw expert Lawrence Lessig; and George M Church, who initiated the Personal Genome Project. The 35 new advisors join existing Board members Rita Colwell, Danny Hillis, Vinod Khosla, M. Granger Morton, Lisa Randall and George M.Whitesides.
Founded in 1845, Scientific American has published articles by more than 120 Nobel laureate authors including Albert Einstein, Francis Crick, Stanley Prusiner and Richard Axel. A close collaboration between editorial staff and expert contributors is seen to boost Scientific American's offering as a consumer science magazine.
The journal became part of the Nature Publishing Group (NPG) in 2009, after many years as a sister Holtzbrinck organisation.
