EurekAlert!
The List has received a request from one of its gentle members for a "Junk
Science" site - no, not a site where they get it terribly wrong but rather
a site featuring the latest in scientific news, which all too frequently
has to be suitably revised a few years down the road. EurekAlert! seems to
fulfill these requirements to a nicety.
"EurekAlert! is an online press service created by the American Association
for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). The primary goal of EurekAlert! is
to provide a forum where research institutions, universities, government
agencies, corporations and the like can distribute science-related news to
reporters and news media. The secondary goal of EurekAlert! is to archive
these press releases and make them available to the public in an easily
retrievable system." - from the website
This is a excellent resource for popular science discoveries. It's so good,
in fact, that the List recommends to its gentle members with an interest in
such topics to bookmark it as stop on the daily web round. Clicking on one
of the topic links brings up all the recent news releases in precis form,
with a clickable link to expanded information at an external site.
Leap over to the website for your daily "Eureka".
