Any particular magazines that you subscribe or would subscribe to? Particularly in the sciences? In medicine? Thanks. :cool:

It depends on the area of medicine, JAMA is always a good read. It's obviously difficult to say with not much in the way of information.

Although not medically related, I personally like Road and Track magazine. It gives me insight as to what type of car I’m going to purchase when I’m out of med school.

Lancet and New England Journal of Medicine are good for professional reading, of course.

I also enjoy Bellevue Literary Review, Prevention and Mother Earth News... because you might not know it to look at me, but I'm crunchy like that. :wink: Fortean Times is a cool read, as well.

I love NEJM, The New York Times (particularly "The Ethicist" column), and NPR.org 's podcasts.

I used to read Playboy before the internet became big. But now, I stick to National Geo, TIME, and the occasional PC Gamer

My personal favorites are CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians (published by the American Cancer Society..and it's free!) and The New York Times (especially Tuesday's Science section and the Health section).
