Everything I'd send you, in one place

PhyPID Group

Site of the PhyPID group at the University of Colorado Boulder, working at the intersection of physics, AI, and data-driven discovery.

Technology.org

Free, ad-supported daily science and technology news site, with sections for new developments, competitions and future ideas, plus a submissions page for outside contributors.

Why I recommend it: Volume is high and much of it is rewritten from university press releases, so treat it as a tip sheet: find the story here, then click through to the original announcement before you repeat any figure.

Aeon

Online magazine of ideas and culture publishing long-form essays on philosophy, science, ethics, technology and society. Free to read.

From the site: Aeon is a magazine of ideas and culture. We publish in-depth essays from the world’s most incisive and ambitious thinkers, and a mix of original and curated videos — free to all.

Futurism

Daily reporting on AI, science and technology, with a running focus on where AI claims meet reality. Free to read.

From the site: Discover the latest science and technology news on breakthroughs that are shaping the world of tomorrow with Futurism.

Why I recommend it: Skeptical by habit, which is useful — it covers the AI stories that companies would rather see written kindly. Headlines run hot, so read the piece before repeating it.

Isomorphic Labs

Alphabet company applying AI models to drug discovery, spun out of Google DeepMind.

From the site: Isomorphic Labs is building a future where frontier AI can help to unlock deeper scientific insights, faster breakthroughs, and life-changing medicines.

Why I recommend it: A concrete example of AI applied to something other than chat. Worth a look if you are science-trained and wondering where AI hiring is happening outside big tech.

Interesting Engineering

Engineering and technology news site covering AI, energy, space and hardware, free to read with an optional paid ad-free tier.

From the site: Explore Interesting Engineering for cutting-edge articles, news, and insights on technology, innovation, and the future of engineering worldwide.

Why I recommend it: Broad and fast-moving, sometimes breathless. Fine for spotting stories, worth checking the original source before repeating one.

CERN News

Official news from CERN, the European particle physics laboratory: accelerator and experiment updates, computing and engineering write-ups, and knowledge-sharing pieces, filterable by topic and audience (general public, students, educators, policymakers). Free to read, no account.

Why I recommend it: Worth following if you want technology news written by the people doing the work rather than by a tech press cycle. The Computing and Knowledge sharing topics are the useful filters for a career audience — CERN publishes plainly about large-scale computing, data handling and open-source work, and the writing is aimed at non-specialists.

Labcorp Internships

Labcorp's global internship listings across laboratory science, data, IT and corporate functions, searchable by location and field.

From the site: Internships

Why I recommend it: A useful one if you want lab or health-data experience without a research-university connection.

Zenodo Open Research Repository

A free, CERN-operated repository where researchers publish papers, datasets, code and reports with permanent DOIs — open access, no subscription.

Why I recommend it: If a paper is paywalled elsewhere, search here first; you can also publish your own work and get a citable DOI for free.

arXiv

The open-access preprint server for physics, mathematics, computer science, and related fields — a primary source for cutting-edge AI and machine-learning research papers.

Why I recommend it: The best place to read AI research before it hits journals or the press; search by tag or author to follow a specific line of work.

The New Science of Maps

Visual gallery and book companion exploring how modern maps, data, and spatial thinking shape understanding.

Why I recommend it: Unexpected source of inspiration for anyone who communicates with data and wants better visual intuition.
