Web site of the month: Research the Headlines

http://researchtheheadlines.org
Research the Headlines is a blog that looks at how research and research findings are portrayed in the media.

Similarly to the Behind the Headlines service on NHS Choices, Research the Headlines takes a media report of a story as a starting point and then looks at the actual research and what that might mean.

The blog covers a lot of science based research, but health and biomedical feature very heavily. It is written in a way that does not require a research background to understand, but will be of equal interest to those who do.

The contributors have also produced a series of top tips for people to do their own research of the headlines.

Research the Headlines is produced by the Royal Society of Edinburgh's Young Academy of Scotland.
