Scite of the Day

Today's scite is the Scienceshots page of the AAAS's web site. The page offers one-paragraph news flashes from a variety of sources- mostly journals, but written in non-technical language. Also, each blurb is accompanied by a small but often interesting picture. It's a good place to find interesting stories that might not get reported in most MSM, though there is some overlap with other sources I check frequently. For example, the lead story right now is on the astronomical brightness story I just noted on the previous post.

If you have too much time on your hands, at the bottom of the page you can find a link to the Scienceshots archive, which goes back to September 2005.
