Knowable Magazine was founded in 2017 by Annual Reviews, a nonprofit publisher of scientific journals. The idea came from the desire to make scientific knowledge more accessible to a broader audience. Annual Reviews, which has been synthesizing and integrating scientific knowledge since 1932, saw an opportunity to extend their mission beyond academic circles. The magazine was launched with support from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. Today, Knowable Magazine is owned and operated by Annual Reviews, with Future plc, an international media group, acquiring the parent company in 2021.Knowable Magazine, based in the United States, covers a wide range of scientific topics including health and disease, the living world, physical sciences, society, food and environment, technology, and the mind. Unlike traditional news outlets, Knowable Magazine focuses on translating complex scientific research into engaging, accessible content for the general public. They produce in-depth features, explainers, interviews, infographics, and even comics to present scientific insights in an approachable manner.**One interesting fact**: Knowable Magazine has a unique approach to content sharing - all of their articles are published under a Creative Commons BY-ND copyright license, which allows anyone to republish their content for free, as long as proper attribution is given and the material is not modified. This open-access model helps to spread scientific knowledge far beyond the magazine's immediate readership.
