Dear Reader —

In the past year, I have spoken again and again with people who feel exhausted by our culture’s science debates. The “science says” mantra has placed a weight on the actual institutions of science that they cannot bear. In 2020, they buckled.

The New Atlantis provides readers a different way of talking about science, a different way of thinking. I believe this is why readers have spoken of finding relief — even new hope — in our work.

But what makes The New Atlantis unique in this cultural moment is also what makes us distinctly dependent on reader support. We are backed not by any Bezos, Jobs, or media conglomerate, but directly by readers who have found an alternative in us.

Amid a tumultuous year for the country, you were one of over a million of these readers. I am asking you now to become part of our community of supporters, to help us grow it by January 18 to 500 individual donors.

Support our work

Please join us. And, if you are not already a subscriber, become one today.

Thank you as always for your readership and generosity.

Yours,
Ari Schulman
Editor
