What is InScight?

InScight is a student-run online magazine hosted by IISER Kolkata, dedicated to making pure science accessible and engaging. Our mission is to bring the wonders of science to a broader audience by exploring innovative research and scientific discoveries. We present well-researched and thought-provoking articles on this website and publish periodical magazines based on such articles. The content is contributed by a diverse community of enthusiasts, aiming to inspire curiosity and a deeper understanding of science among readers.

InScight is the spiritual successor to Cogito, continuing the legacy of promoting scientific knowledge and inquiry. Our editorial board comprises passionate students and researchers from various scientific disciplines, ensuring a rich and diverse range of topics. We also encourage contributions from the wider community, welcoming submissions that delve into any aspect of science that is interesting and non-trivial, and that can be appreciated by a general audience.

In addition to articles, we offer interactive content such as games and interviews with prominent scientists, providing multiple avenues for readers to engage with science. Our latest release includes a quantum physics-themed crossword, showcasing our commitment to making science both educational and entertaining.
