Scientific ideas, especially the truly innovative ones, are like seeds — they need fertile ground and tender care in order to grow to their true potential. Seeds of Science is a scientific organization dedicated to nurturing promising ideas and helping them blossom into scientific innovation.

We began in 2021 as a community-reviewed journal specializing in speculative or exploratory articles (learn more about the journal here). Although the journal was closed in March 2025, we remain dedicated to promoting greater creativity/diversity of thought in science and supporting independent research here on Substack.

Submissions welcome! Slide in our DMs or email us at info@theseedsofscience.org. We are especially interested in publishing independent research of all kinds and work which illuminates the frontiers (or fringes) of a given field.

How can I support SoS?

All paid subscriptions and donations go directly to the authors we feature on this Substack—see “Bucks for Science Blogs: Announcing the Subscription Revenue Sharing Program” for details.

Note: putting ideas (i.e. seeds of science) behind a paywall is sort of against our whole philosophy. So what is a paid subscription getting you then? The sheer bliss that comes with knowing you are one of the good guys, that you stand on the right side of history, that your descendents will smile upon your deeds. In other words, a subscription is really just a donation.
