Science News Sources

A number of web sites focus on science news.

EurekAlert! is one of the best, produced by AAAS. For Bio5, the agriculture, biology and medicine sections are worth following each day. Its primary source is press releases from science centers for governments, universities and journals.

ScienceDaily is a far more commercial venture, but it includes a breaking news section updated every 15 minutes. Its Health and Plants sections are most interest to us.

Science news aggregators such as Google News, Yahoo News, CNN and BBC tend to offer stories about science news, instead of straight science links.

Yahoo and Google both have directory listings for science news sources, with subcatories.
