Earth & Sky: An excellent site based on the daily radio program with the same name. Each day a new question or subject is addressed, such as: what is a blue moon anyway?, the carbon cycle, how do bees make honey?, the edge of the universe, The Doppler effect and many others. The answers given to each question or topic highlight basic science principles. Writers can keep science facts straight by referencing the archives available here.

WhyFiles: Another useful reference for science fiction writers. It provides the "science behind the news" or articles on the actual science involved in subjects from recent headlines. Recent features have covered mad cow disease, water on the moon, political polls, El Nino, cloning and many other timely topics.

Discovery Online and Nova: Both provide television programming, have compelling content on their online versions. Cutting-edge science can also be found online. For example, the study of emerging diseases and finding cures for them is a popular topic in the media today and in popular fiction. Websites provide information on current outbreaks, horrifying deadly diseases such as Ebola, mad cow disease, cholera, and steps in treatment and prevention.
