A Website with Real Science News? 95
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."

This is an incredibly ignorant statement. You've clearly never read any CS Monitor stories. They are a high quality, fairly unbiased publication. They definitely don't let the whackjob worldview of their parent church seep into their journalism.

My suspicion is that you just don't like the "Christian" in the name. Since your comments are not grounded in reality, this makes you a bigot.

If more Christians were to read the Monitor, rather than consuming the bullshit from FOX or CNN, America would likely be a far better place. The majority of Americans would have a far more realistic idea of the world around them, and might even extend that knowledge when voting.

Also, off-topic a little, but if you live in or plan on visiting Boston anytime.. check out the Mapparium [wikipedia.org], which is located in a library belonging to the CSM. I wasn't too impressed by the thought of seeing what's essentially a really large globe until I actually got to go inside.. the acoustics alone are enough to take your breath away -- you can hear the faintest whisper along the inner diameter (a long way). Pictures don't do it the faintest justice, but here's [neatorama.com] one [bu.edu].
