What You’ll Support
Literary Freedom
Nautilus provides a place for the greatest writers and thinkers of our time (think: Cormac McCarthy, Phillip Ball, Sabine Hossenfelder, and Anil Seth, to name a few), to showcase the most creative and deeply thought-through interpretations of their subjects.
Rigorous Reporting
Science storytelling demands a scrupulousness that takes hours in the field, in the lab, and in conversations with subject matter experts. No corners are cut. That effort is what gives Nautilus its reputation for unwaveringly trustworthy science storytelling.
Award-Winning Editorial Illustration
Science should be beautiful. The art in Nautilus is a visual extension of the writing, and our VIP Members enable us to bring our stories to life through vibrant illustrations from celebrated artists.

Public Good
Scientific literacy has never been more important. A non-profit extension of Nautilus, NautilusThink promotes science, education, and the literary arts to expand public knowledge and understanding of fundamental questions of scientific inquiry and their connection to human culture. Through the creation of print, electronic, and visual media of the highest quality and depth, including Nautilus magazine, NautilusThink seeks to connect science to our everyday lives and explore the frontiers of scientific, mathematical, and philosophical inquiry and the human spirit.
