Re: Sound bite science

[Maurice Barnhill <mvb@UDEL.EDU>]

I have been doing a similar thing in my honors introductory class, but
with the luxury of using roughly 25 minutes per week.  I have found
Science, Nature, Physics Today, very occasionally the sci.physics,
sci.astro, and sci.space newsgroup hierarchies, and the AIP Physics News
Update series helpful in generating ideas.  I hope that Dick's request
will generate some more sources for me.
