Science news brings you the latest in cutting-edge research from the world of science. We feature some of the world’s most exciting discoveries and meet the scientists behind the research.
Science writers and editors work hard to place the findings of each study in context. Every scientific finding has caveats, limitations and alternate explanations, so we often use phrases like “suggests” and “could” to help readers understand that not all research is definitive.
Embargoes
Many scientific institutions release their research to journalists under embargo, a mandate that prevents us from publishing a story until a specified date. This is why you sometimes see several news outlets publish the same research at the same time.
Science staff read, write and edit stories before they go live, and our design director and assistant art directors choose photos, videos and infographics to accompany them. The entire team works together to produce an accurate, timely story that explains the science behind each development and its impact on our lives.
