Yale Scientific Magazine is published quarterly by undergraduate Yale University students since 1894. It was founded at the Sheffield Scientific School and was the first student magazine devoted to the sciences. It is currently the nation's oldest collegiate science quarterly. Until 1927 it was called Yale Sheffield Monthly.
Currently with over 100 students involved in all aspects of the magazine – which include writing, editorial, production, art, multimedia, website, and business teams – and about 2,000 subscribers around the world, Yale Scientific Magazine is expanding its initiatives on campus, online, and in the New Haven community. Article topics covered by this publication range from tissue engineered vascular grafts to the effects of cyclones on global warming to the science of art restoration, as Yale Scientific Magazine covers all realms of science, math, and engineering at Yale and beyond. As the premier science publication on campus, Yale Scientific Magazine continues its mission to serve the Yale community by presenting the scientific, medical, and engineering activities at the University in an honest and unbiased manner.

[sic] and to investigate other aspects of nature.”
