Description: Discover is a general audience science magazine. Many famous scientists, including Stephen Jay Gould, Jared Diamond, and Stephen Hawking, have contributed articles to it. It has been in print since 1980. The 74-page September/October 2020 issues' cover story is: Robot Scientists Are Coming - A small but growing crop of machines is learning to design and carry out its own experiments.
