What Science/Bioinformatics Magazines Do You Read?

Eric asks: "I am a software developer getting acclimated to the bioinformatics space by reading through introductory texts like 'Genome : The Autobiography of a Species in 23 Chapters' by Matt Ridley, 'Genomes' by T.A. Brown, and bio journals. I find these sources to be exceptionally interesting but frequently the information is too detailed or too light for my purposes. I think the ideal information would come from a monthly magazine or online forum (like Slashdot) that is geared towards bright non-biologist computery folk (think Dr. Dobbs with an emphasis on computational biology -- light but definitely not fluff). I am particularly interested in new discoveries, research techniques, and experiments in this space. I am also budget constrained, and only have $100 a year set aside to access this kind of material. Does something like this exist, if so which ones do you recommend?" I think this question serves as a fine follow-up to our last question on Bioinformatics, may I suggest yet another starting point for those interested in this subject?

Do slashdotters do science?

[DaoudaW]

I've noticed for some time now that articles about science have by far the lowest response rate on slashdot. For example, Designing An Astrophysical Virtual Observatory and Space Station Gets A Blanket got only 4 comments each, and none moderated up to my normal reading level. More typically a science article gets 20-30 comments, compared to the 100-200 comments on other topics. Anybody understand why?

As to what I read... I enjoy New Scientist (scientifiction) when I can get my hands on it, almost always read Scientific American, glance through Science to see if theirs something I might understand (excellent editorials). I'm also getting the email summary of Nature, and occasionally follow the links to their website. Oh, I also enjoy Natural History though it lacks something since since Stephen Jay Gould stopped writing his column.
