Next week I have to give a presentation for a class called Presenting Science. I have to give an introduction to three online science sources (blogs, websites, apps, podcasts, video channels, etc), and an evaluation of one of them. Which should I do? So far I'm thinking:
Cracked (http://www.cracked.com/humor-science.html)
XKCD's What If? blog (http://what-if.xkcd.com/)
Peacockspiderman on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/user/Peacockspiderman)
Foldit (https://fold.it/portal/)
This Week In Science (http://www.twis.org/)
TalkOrigins (http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/)
ASAPScience on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/user/AsapSCIENCE/videos)
So what do you think? Which two should I mention, and which one should I do an in-depth (well, for 4 minutes) evaluation of? Alternatively, do you have a truly incredible (or heck, crap - I can always tear it apart) sciencey online source I should do, particularly an app or something else a bit out of the usual?
I think I'm leaning towards using Cracked for the evaluation, and talking about FoldIt. But ionno.
