"Scientific American celebrated its 180th birthday on August 28, 2025, by highlighting the many ways science has evolved over nearly two centuries. Since Scientific American's inception 180 years ago, its covers have taken readers on epic journeysfrom deep oceans to distant galaxies. Decade by decade, the magazine's covers have showcased incredible artistic renderings of breakthrough science and debuted 27 different logos."
"To honor the long-standing legacy of the brand and our vast archive of covers, we invited readers to take part in a visual storytelling challenge called #SciAmInTheWild. The task for our readers was to take an original, high-quality photograph of the cover of any physical issue of Scientific American magazine in an interesting, beautiful or unexpected setting where science met scenery that reflected or complemented the theme of the cover."
Scientific American celebrated its 180th birthday on August 28, 2025, marking nearly two centuries of covering scientific discovery. Decade by decade, covers have depicted journeys from deep oceans to distant galaxies, showcased artistic renderings of breakthroughs, and introduced 27 logos. The #SciAmInTheWild challenge invited readers to photograph physical issues in striking natural, urban, laboratory or museum settings where science met scenery. Participants submitted images by email and on Instagram, Bluesky, LinkedIn and TikTok. The idea arose while exploring the archive, noting that the publication predates current staff and even the discovery of Neptune. Submissions exceeded expectations and staff selected favorites to showcase.
