This year's science writing includes medical advancements, an invention machine, the Dover Pennsylvania trial on teaching Creationism in the classroom, paleontology, and how to cook a perfect egg. Diverse and amazing things going on in the world of science.”

This annual series allows me to enjoy the best of the best science writing for amateurs and keep a finger on the cutting edge of scientific research. The kids enjoy some of the articles as well.”

No scientific writing here, but science writing for the lay person, and the best of it. I think there was only one story that did not appeal to me. The rest had me dying to share what I was learning with my friends. ”
