About
Learn what Science Report covers, who it serves, how the publication approaches evidence, and who holds ownership and editorial responsibility.
Science Report is an English-language popular science publication for readers who want clear reporting on discoveries, methods, evidence, limitations and scientific uncertainty.
What We Cover
Science Report covers popular science, scientific research, space exploration, astronomy, physics, quantum technology, artificial intelligence, robotics, medicine, health, biology, climate science, archaeology and human origins. Coverage may examine research findings, scientific missions, institutions, instruments, datasets, public policy and the systems through which evidence is produced, evaluated, communicated and turned into public knowledge.
Our articles aim to explain what the evidence shows, what it does not show, how the result was produced and why it matters. We distinguish established findings from preliminary work, direct observation from interpretation and demonstrated technical capability from promotional claims, so readers can see both the significance of a result and the uncertainty that remains.
Who We Serve
Science Report serves readers in the United States, the United Kingdom and the wider English-speaking world. Coverage may involve international research, institutions and missions whenever they are relevant to the publication’s scientific focus.
The primary audience is the informed general reader who wants accessible reporting without losing the scientific basis of the story. Researchers, students, educators, science and technology professionals, policy observers and institutional readers may also find the coverage useful when following work outside their immediate field.
Science Report History
Science Report’s publication history dates to 2006. Over the following years, the site developed a growing science-focused archive before being relaunched in 2026 under a new editorial team, with its earlier history and subject focus retained as part of the publication’s continuing development.

2026
In 2026, Science Report was relaunched under a new editorial team as an expanded public science publication. The relaunch retained the publication’s historical archive and science-focused identity while introducing a newsroom structure, permanent sections and updated editorial and publisher policies. This marked a new stage in the development of Science Report rather than the creation of an unrelated publication.
Science Report traces its publication history to 2006. Its earlier archive, publication pages, author records, scientific references and specialist topic material remain part of the publication’s historical record.
The 2026 relaunch represents a new editorial stage in that history. It does not imply that the current owner, editorial team or legal structure operated continuously since 2006.
Ownership and Editorial Responsibility
Science Report is currently owned and published by Brenna Hassett, who also serves as editor and editorial lead. The publication does not currently identify a separate editor-in-chief, managing editor or parent company.
Editorial leadership is responsible for topic selection, source standards, fact-checking expectations, correction decisions and final publication choices, including the distinction between independent editorial work and commercial material.
Evidence and Independence
Reporting may draw on peer-reviewed research, clearly identified preprints, datasets, official documents, institutional records, technical documentation and attributable expert commentary. Primary and official sources are preferred where reasonably available because they allow readers to examine the underlying evidence, methods and original claims more directly.
Science Report may display programmatic advertising through Google AdSense. Advertising does not determine editorial topics, rankings, reviews, corrections or conclusions. The publication does not currently publish sponsored articles, paid partner content or affiliate links.
- Scientific claims are presented with attention to their source, method and evidential limits.
- Preliminary findings, interpretation and established evidence are distinguished where relevant.
- Commercial activity remains separate from editorial judgment and published conclusions.
