Hi! I know paywalls can be frustrating but they're often what pays the salaries of journalists like Jen and me. SciAm has a 90 days for $1 deal I highly recommend if you've run out of free views: www.scientificamerican.com/getsciam/90-...

Thanks. I do try to subscribe to everything I read, exactly because I want journalists to get paid and supported to do in-depth work, but it gets pricey in aggregate. I'll look at the budget.

Hi Meg. I am a subscriber and was wondering if you guys would consider letting us do a couple of gift articles a month. Your regular subscription is very reasonable and I would pay a little more for the ability to gift a few. (And it would probably be good advertising.) Just a thought.

Thank you for the enthusiasm! We have tech hurdles for gift articles right now but I'm passing your comment along--stay tuned!
