Science is not just for scientists. Science affects our daily lives; it can inform choices as consumers and the policies we support as active citizens. Below are listed just a few resources that are particularly good at exploring the relationships between science and other aspects of our world in an accessible, sometimes fun, and thought-provoking manner. Many of these sites have a political perspective; this can be a useful tool for discussions of the role of science, scientists, and the media in shaping public policy. It is worth noting that Seed Media Group is associated with Seed Magazine, ScienceBlogs, and some of the content on my art page.

	SciGuy is a general science blog by Eric Berger at the Houston Cronicle. It's great, and we are in Houston afterall, so it merits mention distinct from the science blogs below.
	Seed Magazine "aims to provide our readers with the most relevant, insightful and entertaining original science content on the web. Updated 6 days a week, our site includes everything from breaking news and in-depth features to columns and reviews ... While our library includes the usual magazine fare, we also embrace the potential of the web to cross media boundaries by delivering podcasts, slideshows and a growing pool of video content. ... Our overarching goal is the nurturing of a science-savvy global citizenry by increasing public interest in and understanding of science".
	ScienceBlogs is an outlet for running commentary on all kinds of science news. At left is an RSS listing of headlines from the most recent postings there. Below are links to some of the blogs I have found particularly interesting, thought-provoking, or useful in the classroom.
	The New York Times Tuesday science section can be good resource for science news for students.
	Science Friday, a special edition of Talk of the Nation, covers science topics of the day. Download podscasts or stream the lastest show from here.
