One of the internet’s primary science web portals featuring articles and videos on a wide spectrum of scientific subjects including mathematics, physics, chemistry, astronomy, computer science and biology as well as geology, palaeontology and archaeology. The articles and accompanying audiovisual material are selected from news releases submitted by universities and other research institutions and some are written by Science Daily staff. The large amount of material on offer can make browsing daunting, but subjects are divided into nine broad categories, which are then further divided into sets of narrower terms to facilitate focused searching.

The stated aim of this resource is to create a public space to discuss issues at the point where science and social policy intersect. The site presents a series of lectures, interviews and readings from various conferences and symposia with the emphasis on serious current scientific research and its moral, ethical and philosophical implications. The subjects covered include cognitive science, neuroscience, stem cell research, oncology, evolution and aging. The site has much that is interesting but of particular note are the proceedings of the Beyond Belief conference, a lively wide-ranging conference on science and religion featuring a large group of eminent scientists and philosophers, including Richard Dawkins, biologist and philosopher Francisco J. Ayala, planetary scientist Carolyn Porco and co-founder and Director of The Science Network Roger Bingham. TSN’s website features streaming videos and podcasts, which are also available for download.

A monthly seminar series, hosted by Stewart Brand, founder of The Long Now Foundation. The SALT seminars were started in 2003 with the aim of building "a compelling body of ideas about long-term thinking to help nudge civilization toward our goal of making long-term thinking automatic and common instead of difficult and rare". The website includes podcasts from a wide range of speakers, including geneticist Craig Ventner, technologist Ray Kurzweil and musician Brian Eno. A recurring concern is the use of environmental resources, but all speakers, from whatever discipline, are encouraged to frame their thoughts with reference to the deep past and the deep future: ie. to look 10,000 years ahead to combat the short-term thinking that the Long Now Foundation sees as endemic in modern culture. The entire archive of podcasts is available and new seminars are streamed live. Video of the seminars is available to members of the Long Now Foundation.

Veritasium is a science video website which aims to present topics in all areas of science from the simplest to the most complex and make them accessible an interesting. Many of the videos begin with Derek Muller, creator of the blog, interviewing members of the public and using their common misconceptions as a starting point to explore and reveal scientific truths. Some films include experiments that can be tried at school or at home, others require specialised apparatus that would be difficult to observe otherwise. Veritasium also has a dedicated channel on Vimeo that contains over 90 videos.
