What are some options for accessing topical science articles?

Many websites, such as ScienceDaily.com, SciencesNews.org and Scientific American feature topical news stories that are updated daily. Readers can search by the branch of science most interesting to them, or read front page articles, as one would in a standard newspaper or magazine.

Other sources for topical science news include the New York Times' science page, the BBC's Earth webpage and the websites for other major media outlets, such as NBC, CBS, CNN and ABC. All branches of science are covered and, often, special editions or versions are available for younger readers, to assist school children seeking more information about recent developments in science.
