Project Description

 From the Science Quarterly site:

"Science Quarterly (originally Science Monthly) was started by Brennon Williams at age 10. Early articles covered scientific findings like the discovery of extrasolar planets and collection of star dust. In Brennon's 6th grade year Science Monthly turned into Science Quarterly, and the new publication was much longer (~20+ pages) and each edition contained at least one interview with a variety of scientists including Nobel Prize winners like Dr. Ferid Murad who was awarded with the Nobel Prize for his work in Cyclic GMP and nitroglycerin. Over the next few years Science Quarterly grew and more and more scientists and doctors were interviewed, making SQ what it is today."

I can recall my very first time publishing Science Monthly. I had stayed up all night making copies, and I was brimming with excitement regardless of my lack of sleep. Four years later, I feed the same excitement each time I publish another edition of Science Quarterly. SQ has opened up many doors for me, and allowed me to do things I normally would never have been able to do. Thanks to my publication, I was able to interview NASA rocket scientists, Nobel Laureates, engineers, Stanford doctors, MIT programmers, and many others.

Inspiration

 I've always loved science and discovery, and I do mean always. I cannot remember a time when I was not fascinated by the world around me. In the words of Thomas Jefferson, "Not a single blade of grass is uninteresting to me." As a 10 year old, it seemed like a science publication would be just another one of my crazy ideas. However, somehow I managed between my busy schedule that consisted of lego building and emailing my father several times a day.

I suppose I really just wanted a way to go beyond chemistry sets and science class, so I created Science Monthly (now Science Quarterly).

Today, with each edition I like to keep the latin phrase "Qui docet, discit" meaning "he who teaches, also learns" in mind, as there is nothing more true. I have learned so much in the last four years because of Science Quarterly.

Who will enjoy this the most?

 I try to write SQ so that a student would be able to understand it and an adult would still enjoy it.

The Project

 Many SQ articles are now available free to the public on the Science Quarterly website. There, you can download past articles in pdf format.
