Today's site, from the Science Museum of Minnesota, offers
background coverage of science news. Readers, viewing popular
media
science reporting with a jaundiced eye, can find dependable
information at Science Buzz.

"Some time today, you'll probably hear or read a news story
related to questions, discoveries, or claims made by scientists.
But what do these
discoveries and questions mean to you? To our society? To the
world? You've probably heard a lot of conflicting or incomplete
science information in the news, too. This can be frustrating or
confusing. Science is a messy process. And many of us don't know
how to be savvy consumers of science information. ... We're
trying to create exhibits and web content that offer
opportunities to dig deeper into science headlines, and give you
a chance to talk with each other and with scientists about your
questions and concerns." - from the website

The site's "What's Abuzz?" section surveys current sizzling
science stories, collected from around the web, with direct links
to the sources.
The latest stories highlight the Mars Rover's "Great Escape", a
surprising discovery about raisins and the development of the
first single molecule transistor. Specific topics in the "Buzz
Blog" section provide information on subjects ranging from life
science to math, among others. Visitors are encouraged to provide
feedback about the site.
