We couldn’t have done it without you... 

We know that we would not have gotten to this point without you and your support. [View this email in your browser]( Dear Nautilus reader, One year ago, a fresh investment helped us renew and deepen our commitment to Nautilus’s mission: to bring people a direct experience of the endless possibilities and deep human connections that science offers. And I am enormously proud to be able to say that renaissance has been embraced by our readers—we’ve grown subscribers by more than 50% in just the last six months, and our rate of growth is accelerating. We are nearing profitability, and as we do so, we are tremendously excited to continue expanding and exploring our mission. Partly in recognition of everything we’ve been able to offer through Nautilus and partly in order to help us continue to expand and invest in those offerings, you may have noticed that the price of Nautilus has recently increased. However, we know that we would not have gotten to this point without you and your support, so we’d like to offer you one last chance to lock in the old pricing. But first, in case you missed them, I’d like to share some of the highlights from the last year and give you a sneak peek of what we have in the works. Our goal is to draw people into the heart of science through narrative journalism written by top scientists and scholars that approach their fields from perspectives never before explored. Here are our favorite recent efforts, please check them out and also let us know how they’ve inspired you. Inspiring content, brilliant artwork, brand new programming and events….and a special offer—for our most loyal readers. Listening to our community is at the core of who and what we are. We continue to invest heavily in the quality and depth of our stories, artwork, and programming to bring the beauty of science to life for our readers. We work with some extraordinary scholars, foundations, contributors, and artists to produce insightful stories and thought-provoking content: - Readers and scientists called story, “[Dawn of the Heliocene]( by Summer Praetorius, a paleoclimatologist, “wonderful,” “brilliant,” “super cool,” and “Just Wow,” for her work explaining why we shouldn’t call this geological era “The Anthropocene.” - We interviewed neuroscientist David Eagleman, writer and host of the international PBS series, The Brain with David Eagleman, for our story, “[Your Brain Makes You a Different Person Every Day]( - Gracing our issue cover, “The Heat Is On,” is artwork by Ralph Steadman, a piece that highlights breakthrough research in fusion energy that could bring clean energy to the world. - We [explored the hard problem of consciousness]( how the ineffable sense of a color like red, arises from the physical brain, remains one of the great arguments in science—and ripe for parody, which is just what Jonathan Bines, a staff writer for Jimmy Kimmel Live, served to Nautilus readers. - We talked to the inventor of the Roomba, Joe Jones, and in a fun and personable article he details the [trials and errors and ultimate success]( of his autonomous vacuum cleaner. - Nautilus has partnered with the Bertarelli Foundation, Schmidt Ocean Institute, and Caladan Oceanic to develop new and expanded content for our Oceans Channel. One of our most-read stories, “[It’s Time to Redefine What Sustainable Fishing Means]( by Erica Cirino exposes how hundreds of thousands of marine mammals are killed each year by fishing gear. She writes, “This should not be considered “sustainable.” - On our Biology+Beyond channel, the story, “[Why We’re a Lot Better at Fighting Cancer]( by Christie Wilcox shares how using data-mining techniques, doctors have discovered dozens of anti-tumor drugs hiding in plain sight. - We took a satiric look at academic publishing in our story, “You Want to See My Data? I Thought We Were Friends” by Zach Weinersmith, popular illustrator and creator of the webcomic Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal. - Anthropologist Helen Fisher, whose books have explained the biology of love to readers worldwide, and who today is chief scientific advisor to Match.com., shared key insights about love and our brains with Nautilus readers in her story, “[Your Brain in Love]( - We featured striking cover art by Jorge Colombo, well-known cover artist for The New Yorker, on our issue, “Life Hangs in the Balance.” ([see Tablet Print Edition 31]( - Susan Schneider, the NASA-Baruch Blumberg chair at the Library of Congress and NASA, and one of the leading thinkers about AI and its social consequences, treated Nautilus readers to a compelling brain teaser in her piece, “Could An AI Be Immortal?” - A year before The Overstory by Richard Powers won the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for fiction, and before it became a New York Times bestseller—it remains on the list today—Nautilus alone excerpted The Overstory. - “Why Birds Can Fly Over Mount Everest” …this unforgettable story about evolution and oxygen, was told in the form of a letter to his granddaughter, and was written by renaissance man Walter Murch, film and sound editor of the Godfather movies, Apocalypse Now, The English Patient, and many others. - Nautilus [shared the wise advise of Eric Topol]( a professor of molecular medicine, and executive vice president of Scripps Research, who has become one of the world’s most trusted medical experts on the coronavirus pandemic. - Referred to as the “Darwin of the 21st century,” Jeremy England, shared his theory about the origin of life with Nautilus readers in, “Why Physics Can’t Tell Us What Life Is.” - Annaka Harris, New York Times bestselling author, took Nautilus readers into the [mysterious world of “panpsychism]( the idea that all matter is imbued with consciousness. - We strengthened our dedicated reader support and added a team of customer service specialists to answer your questions in the most courteous and timely manner. And launched a new, highly demanded subscription system for our readers to self-manage their membership if they choose to, with ease. - In this widely discussed article, “[How to Make Sense of Quantum Physics]( physicist Sabine Hossenfelder, a regular contributor to Nautilus (she even made[a music video]( for us), offered a compelling solution to some of the most pressing problems, even for Einstein, in physics. - In one our most popular articles of the year, we put the spotlight on Monica Gagliano, a plant biologist who has shown [plants learn and possess “vegetal consciousness,”]( which she discovered while tripping on psychedelics with shamans. And there's more to come! - Our next issue is shaping up to be an especially exciting one...we have an upcoming story about the first science museum in America. It was founded on the same ideals of enlightenment that motivated Thomas Jefferson. Then P.T. Barnum bought it and replaced its real animal fossils with fake mermaids and tales of tiny people like Tom Thumb. Thus the trajectory of American culture. - Another highly anticipated narrative, the story about the unlikely friendship and mutual admiration of pioneering, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Wolfgang Pauli and Carl Jung. - And this one is a pretty big deal: in development is a a story on the discovery of a gravitational-wave background from the merging of supermassive black holes, cowritten by one the discoverers herself, Chiara Mingarelli, who we called in an interview, [The Gravity Wave Hunter](. - In the coming weeks, we are launching a new podcast on “Ignorance”, in partnership with Dr. Stuart Firestein from Columbia University and Dr. Leslie Vosshall. Every week you'll hear one of the leaders of current scientific thought talk about the greatest mysteries that remain to science...What inspires them and keeps them curious. - Our first Science Fair virtual event will go live in the spring. - Special live programming exploring the deepest reaches of space at our first in person event (COVID permitting) is scheduled for late summer. - Our popular Cosmos and Women in Science & Engineering channels will relaunch in early 2021. As we see it, science comes alive in the personality and humanity of our writers and contributors, and our job is to explore its connection to our lives and the conversations we have everyday. Join us... We’ve loved having you as part of our community in the past and hope you’ll join us now on this next stage of the journey as we continue to produce exclusive stories, provide engaging science learning experiences, and develop a community for our curious readers to interact and explore scientific subjects in profound, unexpected ways.
