Hey /sci/, going into my second year of Biology, decided it'd help to get a subscription to a relevant journal, but I don't know which. I've taken modules as related to human biology and medicine as I can, but I also have some genetics modules. So I'm looking for a journal that covers the side of biology on the other end of the spectrum from ecology etc.
Any ideas? Would Nature cover it do you think?

I have a subscription to Nature.
Pros: Cheap (if you're a student), full of world class papers, arrives weekly
Cons: Ridiculously broad spectrum. Each edition usually contains at least 3 large physics papers and a bunch of esoteric chemistry articles.

That con sounds like a pro to me

Sounds cool.

I should probably do this also OP. Anyone know of any journals that are relatively cheap for a year subscription? I don't think I can drop $110 for a Nature subscription

you don't have access to journals through your university? wat

How poor is your university that it doesn't even have group access to journals?

>>5011806
So are there any narrower journals for biology you can think of? Maybe ones away from the ecology/botany/zoology side of things?

>> No.5011876

It's actually a good university, and it probably does. I just haven't checked yet.
If it does, then my question will be virtually the same, but I will be looking at the journals on the intranet, instead of paying. I just don't know which to try and stick with

whoops, look like a right newfag with my name as noko...

Why would anyone study biology? It's a dead-end field. Go into medicine if you want to get rich. Look at the demographics.

What are you subscribed to that covers genetics?

I'm also entering my second year of Bio and my passion is within genetics.
