Default What Science Sites Do YOU Visit

So, since we have a nice new spanking forum section, i'll start of with a meager list of science sites i visit often and it would be cool if everyone could contribute some sites you frequent often as well.

http://www.newscientist.com/home.ns
http://www.spaceflightnow.com/
http://www.economist.com/science/

Okay here's some of the science links you guys posted all in one post yay :P
http://www.nature.com/index.html
http://www2b.abc.net.au/science/k2/stn/
http://www.sciencealert.com.au
http://www.primidi.com/
http://www.kurzweilai.net/
http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov
http://bmj.bmjjournals.com/
http://www.popsci.com/popsci/
http://www.planetary.org/home/ - Planetary Society

http://www.damninteresting.com/
http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/
http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/

This one from the looks of it seems to be more of a discussion board
http://www.iidb.org/vbb/forumdisplay.php?f=65
If you can find any other boards like this ill make a new list for science discussion boards.

I'll get around to sorting it from blogs and proper sites soon....

newscientist and physorg.com and a very very small amount from digg.

I get most of my science information a couple of weeks late in magazines (Cosmos, Australian Scientist, New Scientist, Popular Science) and if it interests me then I will find more info on it.

Those and the regular stuff I read for uni. Thinking about picking up subscriptions to both Science and Nature journals (Nature more important that Science).

newscientist is quite popsci compared to stuff from scientific american (they get much more indepth, rather than go "isnt that AWESOME?!")

www.sciam.com

they had a 10 page writeup on string theory (as an example)

Never tried them, might pick up the latest magazine next week and see how it is. Though I'm already poor enough as it is, don't know how I will manage to afford another magazine subscription
