A Website with Real Science News?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the just-the-facts-ma'am dept.

TechnoSophos asks: "How can I get the real scoop on the latest scientific research? The fourth-grade-reading-level newspaper version of the story is rarely accurate, and is too focused on the wow factor. On the other hand, neither searching for arbitrary strings, nor browsing by journal or even topic is particularly effective if the task is simply staying up to date with the latest news. I don't need gorgeous graphics, nor do I need someone with a Bachelor's in Literary Criticism telling me what the research is about. I just want the cold, hard facts -- lots of 'em."

    Slashdot gets 73.5% of its science and tech news from there so it has to be good. Ronald Piquepaille's Technology Trends.

    Of course, I would still give a kidney to publish in Science or Nature, so perhaps y'all should file my comment under "sour grapes".
