This one is definitely worth a bookmark, in my opinion....
The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
maintains what may be the premier science news site on the Web,
"EurekAlert.org":
http://www.eurekalert.org/
Just click any subject area to see the latest news stories. And you
may also search any subject area for stories of interest to you.
(Your first search will also produce a link to an advanced search
page, if needed.)
Of course, each special subject area can also be bookmarked.
So, if you are especially interested in recent advances in medicine
and the health sciences, you might want to bookmark this page:
http://www.eurekalert.org/bysubject/medicine.php
For those inclined to chemistry and physics:
http://www.eurekalert.org/bysubject/chemistry.php
For the mathematicians in our midst (or off in the corner in their own
solitary midst):
http://www.eurekalert.org/bysubject/mathematics.php
And for those whose curious fate it is to work for the U.S. Department
of Energy or for one of our fine National Laboratories, you'll *most
certainly* wish to bookmark this page!
http://www.eurekalert.org/doe/
Coverage is not restricted to science done in the U.S., though
American science is given especially extensive coverage.
One unusual and useful feature: contact information is given with most
stories (email as well as phone), as well as weblinks to the relevant
research organizations.
You'll find much less gloom-and-doom at this site than you will at
most general news sites, and I suspect a far higher percentage of
stories here will have a direct effect on the future well-being of
Humankind. (Mind you, I'm not knocking gloom-and-doom -- it has its
legitimate place -- but I do think the mainstream press vastly
overdoes the policy that "if it bleeds, it leads". And because of
this, many genuinely newsworthy stories are shunted below the
threshold of notice.)
Happy browsing!
