The end of Popular Science magazine

After 151 years, Popular Science will no longer exist as a magazine. The outlet went online-only two years ago, but published quarterly online “issues”: Now it is reduced to occasional news items and video. This month all but five editorial staff were laid off. A spokesperson for its owner said “PopSci is a phenomenal brand” but the “content strategy has to evolve,” while its editor said she was “frustrated, incensed, and appalled.” Popular Science’s decline comes during a tough time for science journalism more widely, The Verge noted. National Geographic cut the last of its staff writers this year, while CNN, CNBC, and Gizmodo have all lost or cut their climate teams.

GOOD wildlife pics. AZ rancher 's bear + cat dogs treed a big one 'God Almighty , that's a jaguar' [In AZ]. I always wondered how a bear dog pack could know which way an old bear scent bear ran on a trail?? Hollywood fake??
NO, I found out in NRA American Hunter magazine , the bear dogs have a good enough nose, within 50 feet down the bear trail, their nose knows which way the bear travels. Amazing

MOST likely fired for cause;
but popular enough to get back in .
Still should be a game changer; even though Vector Vest new d ads touting its use of] AI] machine learning may not be game changer in that product.
Its like the good looking bank teller counts the $100s ;
then she puts them in the auto counter , not vice versa

Well, I am bummed. I thought this issue of NatGeo was going to be about King Charles.

Turns out it's about something else
