It's time for science: Québec Science, more relevant than ever
The world is facing challenges in which science and technology play a key role: pandemics, climate change, the search for new sources of energy, pollution, an ageing population, food security... The magazine would like to take advantage of this anniversary to remind us of the importance of science journalism and its contribution to separating the true from the false, and to better understanding the issues facing society.
« After 60 years of existence, Québec Science reaches a wider audience than ever before. This shows Quebecers' keen appetite for science and quality information. »says Jean-François Rheault, editor of Québec Science.

Québec Science is aimed at a readership that's curious by nature; you don't need a scientific background to enjoy it.
