Journals

The Triple Helix began with its termly "Science in Society Review" and is still a key part of our society's numerous activities. We produce the termly magazine 'The Science in Society Review', and distribute 3,000 copies around the University of Cambridge's colleges and departments. Most of our authors and editors are undergraduates who work together closely to take an article from abstract to finished piece within a Cambridge term - no mean feat! A special feature of our articles is that they are all reviewed for accuracy by academics in the relevant field; a fantastic feedback opportunity for all of our writers. We also publish international features from other Triple Helix chapters around the world, and conversely our own authors have the chance to be published in 18 universities worldwide.
