ABOUT US
The Natural Philosopher began in the fall of 2017 on The University of Vermont's campus. Thanks to two senior undergraduate neuroscience students, Chris Keim and Caleb Winn, The Natural Philosopher set out on a mission to expand scientific literacy in the general population. Ever since, TNP has been devoted to producing high-quality scientific writing and artwork accessible to readers of all educational backgrounds. Scientific literature doesn't just have to be for PhDs!

Our Mission
Welcome to The Natural Philosopher! We represent the University of Vermont's first and only science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) publication. Founded in 2017, we aim to produce interesting and accessible articles and artwork using primary scientific literature.
We feel that science research is often lost on the general public because of obscure language and concepts, and as students involved in and interested by scientific research, we want to share the important and fascinating things uncovered by scientists today.
