Summary
BlueSci is the oldest of Cambridge University's student-run science magazines. It was first created as a science and technology news digital site in October 2000 by Lauri Ora, Risto Paju & Rend Platings[1][2] and has been published in its current form continuously since 2004. It is published at the beginning of each term during the University of Cambridge's academic year.[3] BlueSci's editors are voluntary and not paid, and typically appointed on a yearly basis.[4] They are supported by a permanent member, the Senior Treasurer Dr Björn Haßler, the founding president of Cambridge University Science Productions. BlueSci was originally published in a digital format in 2001. BlueSci has become a recognised brand, and for Issue 11[5] BlueSci was adopted as the overall name for the society.
