Nautilus Education
In June Nautilus started a new project, the Nautilus Education Program to help bring narrative based science literacy into our nation’s schools.
For years, teachers have been using Nautilus in the classroom, and telling us how it provides the kind of quality science writing that they need to engage students. It’s easy to understand why. The modern world has placed an unprecedented emphasis on science literacy. That’s because science and technology are changing our world faster than almost a

What Makes You So Special: The Puzzle of Human Uniqueness
When we sat down to plan our first issue of Nautilus, we asked ourselves a simple question. What is the biggest statement that science has made about humans and our place in the universe in the past few hundred years? The answer suggested itself immediately: it seems we’ve been told that we just aren’t very important.
This was a bit of a surprise. We’re fans of science, you see. And some of our best friends are people. Where was this narrative of mediocrity coming from, and, more importantly, w

Uncertainty: A new look at an indeterminate world
f we asked you to name the towering achievements of 20th century science, you might point to relativity, genetics, the polio vaccine, and space travel. And of course you’d be right.
But science also made a different kind of breakthrough in the last century: it began to map out, in a precise way, what we could not know.
Think about that. The sophistication of our observations, and our thinking, had grown to the point that they could expose the limits of knowledge itself. We began to glimpse the

The Story of Nautilus: Science, Math and Myth
Behold the humble nautilus. Just about a foot in diameter, it is a slow bottom-dweller with short tentacles that moves through the water with an unsteady wobble. It’s also 500 million years old and, in its day, was the best and brightest, using its newly evolved depth control to lay waste to acre after acre of scuttling crustacean prey.
We became interested in it here at Nautilus because, well, we stole its name. But also because (for a mollusk) it represents a remarkable intersection of scien

Teaching style
The new Common Core and Next Gen standards being adopted in the U.S. have placed an unprecedented emphasis on science literacy. But most existing science texts do not emphasize literacy, and most literary texts don’t have science The Nautilus Education Text Sets and Nautilus issue eBooks intend to fill this gap.
Each Text Set (coming 11-15-15) contains articles from the award-winning science magazine, Nautilus, each accompanied by lesson plans and guides for teachers.
The Nautilus issue eBooks deliver the full depth and complexity of modern science to our reader with style and imagination. We challenge our readers, not just with deep and broad stories, but with imagining how those stories relate to each other.
Key science concepts like genetics and astronomy are explored
through narrative story telling and tailor-made artwork, letting science
spill over its usual borders, and waking the imagination and interest of
the student. This kind of literary science classroom material was designed to helps teachers satisfy the new U.S. common core standards but have global application.
