New source for medical/science news
STAT (statnews.com) is not, sadly, a statistics news site. On the upside, it’s a very promising site covering medicine and medical science. It’s owned by the same person as the Boston Globe, but is a separate venture.
Their front page has a lot of news items already; for a look at the sort of more detailed story they can handle, there’s one on whether antioxidants have positive or negative effects on cancer. That’s by Sharon Begley, a highly-regarded and award-winning science writer.
STAT has recruited, either as staff or columnists, a lot of impressive people. It’s definitely worth looking at.
