Re: Sound bite science



DISCOVER magazine is the descendent of the general science 'zines of the
late 70's and the 80's, and does a good job of covering the science beat
in a general way. It wouldn't come close to satisfying the perfectionists
on Phys-L, but could provide you with topics to pursue with your TV
audience. If you're not familiar with it, DISCOVER covers the physical
sciences, biology and medicine, technology, even psychology and
mathematics. They are also on the web at <http://www.discover.com/>

POPULAR SCIENCE 'zine is at <http://www.popsci.com/>. Light on science,
heavy on technology, but worth looking at.

You also might want to explore at <http://www.scicentral.com/>, a pretty
well done science gateway.

Best wishes,

Larry

I've just agreed to be The Science Guy on one of our local tv stations,
with a 3-minute (!) gig every week. Science for the citizen, that sort of
thing. Now I know that three minutes doesn't sound like much to you, but a
year is 52 of those things, which sounds like a lot to me, so I'm looking
for a source of regular ideas.

Where should I spend time schmoozing? I'm looking for your best ideas in
books, web sites, newsgroups, mailing lists, whatever.
