I’ve been subscribing to this blog for 2 months and like it. You get between 0 and 5 articles each day of new things happening in every field of science. The only thing that I’m unhappy with is that some days there is no update- can days go by when absolutely nothing newsworthy happens with the millions of scientists all over the world?

What’s not to like about science articles?
Reuters Science has, not surprisingly, readable and interesting science news. There is little overlap with AP Science, which I also get. Both are informative, but AP is clearly more “PC”, so they present, for example, the PC version of how there is global warming consensus, and that it is clearly human caused, etc. Reuters doesn’t come across as though it has an agenda.
As I said, there isn’t much overlap and so, for example, Reuters covered the memristor story, but I didn’t (yet) see it in the AP Science blog.
One warning about Reuters Science though. It may not be suitable for that young reader you’ve given a kindle to. I had to cancel it on that kindle because of an overly descriptive story, “turn-ons, turn-offs, desire varies widely among men.” That’s what prompted me to write this review. No surprising conclusions in the story, no real science to report, just a big inappropriate in-your-face faux pas.
