- It once was. I have a twenty year collection of newsientist at home, does any one want about a thousand back issues of this mag. I no longer read it, I am tied of science fantasy being put across as science facts. It has become a trashy mag.

The field's crowning achievement may have been the spelling out of our genetic secrets by the human genome project, but scientific and technological advances in genetics have forever transformed agriculture, biology, medicine, zoology, and even fields such as anthropology and forensic science. Why certain features of parents and even more distant relatives appear or do not appear in individual people, plants, parasites and protozoa has fascinated and confused people for millennia. This observation has also spawned a remarkable variety of theories of heredity, from pangenesis to Lamarckism. Modern genetics, however, can trace its lineage to pea plants in the garden of an Augustinian monk, Gregor Mendel. By studying the inheritance of traits such as plant height and wrinkly peas, he discovered that most hereditary traits are carried by discrete factors, later called genes.

- Straight from Wikipedia: In September 2006, New Scientist was criticized by science fiction writer Greg Egan, who wrote that "a sensationalist bent and a lack of basic knowledge by its writers" was making the magazine's coverage sufficiently unreliable "to constitute a real threat to the public understanding of science".
