This blog has moved to http://node801.blogspot.com/ Messages for courses are now sent via the universities LMS network and updating this site is cumbersome. I will leave up the postings that were already here, since some are for courses, but others have been transferred to the new site.

Science and the Origins of Race, SS. 490: Science News Sites
The question came up where to find accessible science news. Here are a few. Remember that some of these may be available via the Pratt's online services.  Make sure to check with them or to ask a reference librarian about their databases.

New Scientist
http://www.newscientist.com/home.ns

Scientific American and Scientific American News
http://www.sciam.com/

http://www.sciam.com/section/id/news


BBC Radio's In Our Time with Melvyn Bragg
has very good background discussions that can be downloaded as MP3s
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/history/inourtime/inourtime_archive_home.shtml

Take a look/listen to the other Science programs there
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/science/

A bit more sensational are
BBC World Service Science
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/default.stm

New York Times Science
http://www.nytimes.com/pages/science/index.html


Perhaps the most respected, though not so accessible both in terms of the publication and because of its cost,  is
Nature
http://www.nature.com/nature/index.html
