Astrobites is a daily astrophysical literature journal written by graduate students in astronomy since 2010. We present one interesting paper per day in a brief format accessible to undergraduate students in the physical sciences interested in research.
BiteScis
BiteScis sparks interest in scientific research by connecting what students learn in the classroom to the questions scientists are currently pursuing, whether in the lab or the field; through a microscope, telescope, or the circuits of a supercomputer. And since they’re classroom-tested, free, editable, and tied to standards, they are easy to incorporate into the classroom.

Geobites
Geobites is a grassroots science communication effort supported by the American Geophysical Union. Geoscientists write about new developments in their field to bring cutting-edge science to the broadest possible audience.
Immunobites
Immunology is a complex, fast moving, and intense field of study. Immunological underpinnings can be found in most fields of research, but especially those involving the biological sciences. Keeping up with advances and discoveries can be challenging, but keeping new discoveries in context with immunology as a whole is nearly impossible. Or, it is for any one person. Thus: Immunobites!
