SCIENCE NEWS DAILY:
https://www.sciencedaily.com/news/
A website devoted to the most recent advances in Science and Technology
-- updated daily. However, the number of ads is a bit disconcerting in a website focusing on the latest Science and Technological developments. Still, a very useful source to scan for the latest developments.
MIT Tech Review for 2022 reveals its annual list for top potential technology breakthroughs for 2022; areas include AI for protein folding, long-lasting batteries for the power grid, and more
"Whether you have questions about the universe or a molecule compound or what biome you live in, Sciencing.com is your go-to source for all things science. Rather than simply an educational site for any age, Sciencing is more of a platform for sharing of new developments and discoveries in the scientific fields." (from ISR -- U Wisc Madison)

("The award-winning publication invites readers to explore various science-based news stories, covering everything from morphing algae to mini helicopters on Mars, and is geared towards young scientists or future scientists...Designed for use in science classrooms, stories are accompanied by resources such as discussion questions, "power words," and follow-up readings. More information about these tools is available on the Education Resources page. In addition to science stories, the site hosts other supplemental materials (available under the Explore tab) such as experiments, career resources, and a "word of the week." )
"On the main page, visitors are greeted by a series of blog posts covering timely science news and studies. Those interested in a particular subject may want to start by selecting from areas such as Astronomy and Public Health & Policy under the Topics drop-down menu. In the Art section, users will find Image galleries, Videos, and Featured Artists.
Users can also navigate the Seminars, Science by the Pint, and DayCon pages to learn about events hosted by the SITN team.
Those looking to enjoy resources remotely should visit the Podcast page, where they can listen to Sit'N Listen, a series bringing 'scientists' perspectives on intriguing and newsworthy science,' and covering topics from mosquitos (episode seven) to Monsanto (episode five)."

"Publishing daily news stories for young science enthusiasts, Science News for Students is a celebrated resource bringing "age-appropriate, topical science news to learners, parents, and educators."
Written by veteran science journalists, the site's stories make research accessible to readers of all ages and technical backgrounds. Pieces are organized into broad science categories (for example, Earth and Space), and some of these categories are further sorted by sub-topic (e.g., Animals, Plants, and Fossils are all under Life).
Readers can filter stories by these categories under the All Topics tab or scroll through the home page for the latest scoop.
Designed for use in science classrooms, stories are accompanied by resources such as discussion questions, "power words," and follow-up readings.
More information about these tools is available on the Education Resources page. In addition to science stories, the site hosts other supplemental materials (available under the Explore tab) such as experiments, career resources, and a "word of the week."
The nonprofit organization Society for Science launched Science News for Students in 2003. Janet Raloff serves as the publication's current editor."

The SciCommer: for the latest news in Science from around the world.
|
|
|
|
The SciCommer is a weekly roundup of the latest news in science communication from around the world. This free, UK-based newsletter is delivered to inboxes every Tuesday.
A typical issue includes links to current news with a brief summary of each story, a Learning section spotlighting training and educational resources, audiovisual stories (Watch and Listen), upcoming events (SciComm Diary),
and a section with (mainly UK-based) jobs and internships in communications and the sciences (Opportunities).
For example, the issue from May 25, 2021 focused on language in science communication and linked to articles on multilingual science resources, misinformation on the internet, equity in ecology, and using the arts to engage the public with scientific research, among other topics.
On the homepage, readers can enter their email address to subscribe or click "Let me read it first," to access past issues.
On that page, users can find issues organized by date ("Archive") or popularity ("Top").
Readers can also keep up with the latest on Twitter (@TheScicommer). The SciCommer is a Substack newsletter created by Heather Doran.

A Science Blog
|
Science & Science Communication |
| www.sciencetalk.org/a-science-blog |
|
This publication connects readers with "life in the science communication community, research about science communication, and tools and advice for science communicators."
Recent posts highlight #BlackinSciComm week (with features on leaders in various science fields); demonstrate how to create useful public health multimedia in light of COVID-19; and recap the trials and triumphs of virtual conferences.
Visitors can use the panel on the right-hand side to filter posts by month (June 2017 to present) or topic.
This panel also contains information on how to pitch a story.
A Science Blog is an extension of Science Talk, "a non-profit organization that seeks to empower and inspire the science communication community to expand their communication potential and affect the world."
Readers may want to browse other parts of the website, particularly the Conferences tab, which previews the 2021 Science Talk conference, a series of workshops and presentations around the theme of "resilience" (readers should note that this event requires a registration fee).
Science Talk also has a Twitter presence where readers can follow along @ScienceTalkOrg.
