AuthorFavorite ways to get research news
Posted on Jan 24, 09 at 05:34 PM

What's everyone's favorite sites or journals for getting science news?

I like to keep up with a little bit of every field so I have Eureka! RSS'd (escience news) and I get the Nature news alerts in my email, but most of their articles require a subscription, so it's a tease lol I used to have a print subscription to Science and Discover but they lapsed, and I get American Scientist from Sigma Xi, which is sometimes interesting but too far between to be a useful "keep up" tool.

Print journals seem to be out, but I was wondering if that's true among all of us.

Hi all,

I subscribe to Scientific American and Discover (which are useful with my students).  I also have a subscription to The Scientist which is for me (it's usually over my students heads).  I also use some open access journals online such as Journal of Biology.

My favorite place for research news is Science Daily at www.sciencedaily.com.  Their news is factual, up-to-date, and is based on research studies.  Also pseudo science is not included.

I regularly read the New Scientist, a great weekly for a good overview of the latest in science news, and it's good for jobs too. their website www.newscientist.com is also very good.
