ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************

I picked up an issue a few years ago when it was forming. It seemed like an 
interesting magazine with a fresh, perhaps hip (chic?), view. The editor was 
interviewed about that time and he seemed pretty bright and definitely 
passionate about what he was doing. I'm not a subscriber. I subscribe to 
enough science and tech mags as it is. I believe it's good that it's still 
around. I suspect that it will not have a large audience though because of 
its particular foucs. Perhaps something like The New Yorker.

The interview might have been on Science Friday, and, if so, would likely be 
in their archives. I'd look around 2002.
