Following Science on the Web
A post only tangential to mathematics today....
This week Wired Magazine posted a list of the "27 Best Feeds to Follow In the World of Science":
http://www.wired.com/2015/08/the-new-cultural-literacy-science-feeds/
Aside from the hyperbole (as Wired is prone to) of such a claim -- finding the 27 "best" out of three-gajillion science-related feeds -- I wasn't all-that-happy with their list, despite many fine entries. So decided to see what I'd come up with attempting to pick my own 27 favorite science-oriented Web feeds (sort of a quick, initial draft, and I limited myself to science-folks who had BOTH an active twitter feed and website).
I didn't include "math" feeds, and my bias towards physics versus biology/life-sciences may be evident, but here's the eclectic list, with the twitter handles/links, followed by their associated webpages. The order is random except for lumping the 10 magazines and collaborations together at the beginning, and the 17 individuals after those (and amazingly, only one of these shows up on the Wired list -- different strokes for different folks!):
