Open Questions: Science News Sites
|
There'a a lot going on in "science", but to judge from the
information available in most of our media you might never know it.
Except for the really big "breakthroughs", unless a story has some
"human interest" angle -- such as popular animals like whales, the
personality of the researcher, or some political controversy -- the
evening TV news and your local newspaper are likely to ignore it.
But the stories are out there. And they're even easier than ever to find.
Try some of the resources on this page as a regular source of
information about some of what's happening in the world that's a little
more interesting -- and useful -- to know about than the latest crime,
natural disaster, or political scandal story.
