SciTechStory is a hybrid – blog, news aggregator, and (eventually) portal. The goal is to inform readers about important scientific and technological developments that are occuring on an almost daily basis. SciTechStory isn’t where a specialist goes to scan their field, but where anybody (including a specialist) can get an overview of many fields without becoming overwhelmed with detail and trivia. The guiding filter is the 40 (or so) “impact areas” that arguably define the most influential or pressing topics affected by science and technology.
NEWS posts are categorized by their primary impact area.
IMPACT posts are also categorized by impact area and generally provide analysis or commentary.
SPIN posts cover the ‘flip side’ and sometimes the ‘dark side’ of science and technology.
ESSAY posts, are typically longer and cover topics in depth.
REVIEWS cover science fiction movies (present or past).
FUNNYBONE posts change the pace to humor.
