Just a quick note:
In a time when most large media companies are cutting science sections, I have to give NPR a hand for its commitment to covering the topic.
I don't know how long it has sported this new format, but I noticed a change today while reading an article. The science section departmentalized itself into nine expansive subcategories. One in particular caught my eye because it's pretty rare in mainstream media -- "Animals."
Let's just say my excitement is borderline embarrassing.
If I could choose any area of science to specialize in, this would be it. And even if you view "Animals" as just a label, I think making these articles easy to find will spur people to enjoy and think more about the world around them -- a science communicator's dream.
I would explore the science sections of other pubs in this post, but the process wouldn't be as organic. I'll post other things I see from now on...
