ScienceAlert is an independently run online publication and news source that publishes articles featuring scientific research, discoveries, and outcomes.[2] The site was founded in 2004 by Julian Cribb, a science writer, to aggregate research findings from Australian universities,[7] and it expanded in 2006 when ex-Microsoft programmer Chris Cassella took on the project of developing the website.[8] It has readership that ranges from 11.5m to 26.5m per month.[6] Science journalist Fiona MacDonald has been CEO since 2017.[9]
