I’ve been trimming down the links pages connected to this site; the idea of a links page is hopelessly old-fashioned, and neither I nor anyone else was using most of them. But I’ve been copying them into posts, as a way of recording what they looked like. So, here’s what our list of Science links looked like when it was finally deleted:
Science
(This page most recently updated 12 January 2012)
Since people are saying that this blog is a good source of news about science (well, okay, only one person has said that, but she’s very smart,) it seems right that there should be a page of links to science news and blogs.
Our own science section
Afarensis99, “anthropology, evolution, and science,” with a blogroll that includes dozens of anthropologically-oriented websites
Andrew Gelman, “statistical modeling, causal inference, and social science.” In other words, lots of fun little squibs about stuff in the news.
Blog Around the Clock, chronobiologist “Coturnix” on clocks, animate and inanimate, freestanding and collective
Built on Facts, Matt Springer, physics grad student by day and champion of Enlightenment values by night
Colin Schultz, Canadian science journalist. He conducts very good interviews with scientists, journalists, and science journalists for his blog.
Greg Laden, who shows us what Acilius means when he says that anthropology is a field that attracts megalomaniacs
Guilty Planet, Jennifer Jacquet on climatology, the relation between science and humanities, and other topics; hasn’t updated in a while
The Hubble Site
Jokah MacPherson, an accountant who’s interested in statistical analysis and the social sciences
John Hawks, mostly about biology and physical anthropology
Junk Charts, “recycling chartjunk as junk art”
Language Log, a blog maintained by linguists
Minute Physics, videos most of which take longer than a minute, though if you watch them on a very small screen they would be minute
Not Exactly Rocket Science, may occasionally hint at rocket science
Numberphile, Brady Haran’s videos about numbers
Pharyngula, “evolution, development, and random biological ejaculations from a godless liberal”
PLoS One, “accelerating the publication of peer-reviewed science”
Science Daily, aggregator maintained by the Chronicle of Higher Education
Science Now, a service of the American Association for the Advancement of Science
Science sections of the Independent, the BBC, the New York Times, and NPR, each of which has its strengths
Scientific American magazine
Statistics Forum blog
Talk Like a Physicist, cartoons, tattoos, and other stuff involving references to physics
3quarksdaily, a filter blog with a number of science-minded editors
