Science & Critical Thinking Resources

This is a non-exhaustive, searchable list of reliable and well vetted science communication resources. They are great places to start when looking for expertise, evidence-based information, honest and open inquiry, and interesting conversations in general concerning science. Some are heavier on the science, others are lighter entertainment, but all provide insight into the scientific consensus on whichever topics they cover, providing links and citations. You will find educational and curious supplies of science news/journalism, critical thinking resources, intellectual inquiry,  and more.

Books
