So i recently saw a twitter update that took me to the Guru Magazine introduction page. The article essentially talked about how in this new digital age we have entered a "new digital age of ignorance" and frankly I agree. In a world where with a few key strokes you can determine if that questionable remedy for a stomach ache is a hoax or not, people rarely do so. They note that this is because science is synonymous with complexity and boredom. They created Guru Magazine to be a eZine that presents science in a way that is approachable to the general public. As I browsed the zero issue that is available on their site for free (zero issue) I was very happy with their approach.
They split the information into sections such as tech, science, food and mind and have short but engaging articles. The overall layout feels like a lifestyle magazine as they intended and the use of pictures and graphics really gives the whole thing a nice flow. If you have ever been interested in science but found it a bit out of your grasp I suggest you keep an eye out for the next articles (gurumagazine.org), or better yet follow them on twitter @GuruMag.
