Elements

Elements is a student-run science magazine publication for general audiences featuring articles on student research and interesting scientific topics, including satire and art. Students can be involved in Elements as writers, editors, illustrators, and photographers to develop skills surrounding design, editing, writing, and management. Elements strives to share scientific knowledge in an accessible and entertaining format for the betterment of the community. 

Elements is simultaneously science-oriented and accessible to students involved or not involved in STEM. The magazine accepts all submissions, and in the same manner, our community accepts all kinds of students wanting to participate. To produce an issue per semester, we stay motivated and hard-working, but also make sure to incorporate fun events to foster an exciting community.
