Not Exactly Rocket Science
Today's site, one of Discover magazine's blogs penned by noted writer Ed
Yong, offers an informative look at what's making waves in the scientific
community. Gentle Subscribers will find lively and wide-ranging coverage of
a variety of science topics.
"Ed Yong is an award-winning British science writer. His work has appeared
in New Scientist, the Times, Wired, the Guardian, Nature and more. Not
Exactly Rocket Science is his attempt to talk about the awe-inspiring,
beautiful and quirky world of science to as many people as possible." -
from the website
This attractively designed blog currently features an article on the
generally unsuspected benefits of the unloved wasp, under the intriguing
headline of "You Can Thank Wasps for Your Bread, Beer and Wine". Over the
past month Mr. Yong has singled out the rhino beetle and its remarkable
horn, a revised evolutionary timeline for the polar bear, and what looks
like another breakthrough in the guerrilla war on HIV. In addition to what
has become de rigueur photos and videos, the blog also includes
comprehensive collections of annotated links to the latest and most
interesting science stories.
