Hawkmoth is a science magazine that combines gorgeous imagery with cool information about the world we live in. We grew out of the observation that artistically-minded people are often discouraged from pursuing science, and that scientists are seen as dry, humorless nerds. We are a team of scientists who value design. Get in touch at info@hawkmoth.us.
