Tired of 'Science by Press Release'? Try Science by Blog
A group of science bloggers has created a site that allows
researchers to share blog posts about peer-reviewed research in one
place.
ResearchBlogging.org, launched yesterday, is essentially a blog
aggregator. Blogging academics (or, apparently, laymen interested
in peer-reviewed research) register their blogs with the site.
Bloggers can flag certain posts they write about peer-reviewed
research by inserting a snippet of code. These posts then appear on
the main page of the site, replete with proper academic citation.
The idea, writes co-creator Dave Munger, is to allow researchers to
learn about new peer-reviewed research without relying on press
releases or news reports.

Google to Host Terabytes of Open-Source Science Data
Sources at Google have disclosed that the humble domain,
http://research.google.com, will soon provide a home for terabytes
of open-source scientific datasets. The storage will be free to
scientists and access to the data will be free for all. The
project, known as Palimpsest and previewed to the scientific
community at the Science Foo camp at the Googleplex last August,
missed its original launch date this week, but will debut soon.
