Brain Bug Magazine held its Issue #4 Release Event July 25 at Grim Planetarium, Kutztown University.
“Dr. Phil Reed from the KU Astronomy Department and Firefly Bookstore helped make it a wonderful event,” said Jesse Warner, magazine co-founder with Olivia Knowles. Both are Kutztown University students.
The family-oriented and all-ages event included presentations from Reed, Associate Professor of Physics and Astronomy, and the Brain Bug Magazine team. Following the presentations, guests were invited to look through the solar telescope and look directly into the sun to view sun spots and solar rays.
Brain Bug is a fully illustrated, independent science magazine operated out of Kutztown.
“This non-violent and non-gender bias magazine is geared for a middle school audience, but is enjoyable for any age and reading level. Brain Bug strives to go against other magazine trends that focus on gossip and busy-work. Instead, Brain Bug focuses on gross-out humor, real articles featuring real members of the community, pullouts, and LOTS of comics to provide a tangible experience in a digital age. All of the information discussed in the magazine is provided conversationally and objectively with interviews and fact-checks by real experts (professors, PhDs, and people in the field),” according to Warner.
