Environmental reporters may find it just a bit easier to get access to federal agencies' scientific information about the environment because of www.science.gov [2].

The newish federal Web site pulls together hundreds of links to rarely visited Web pages published by a vast variety of federal offices and programs doing science on environmental and other topics. See a sample here. [3]

It also has collections of links on agriculture and food; earth and ocean sciences; energy and energy conservation; natural resources and conservation; and other topics relevant to environmental journalists.
