Science liaison: Understanding stories, not facts
I have been fortunate enough to get a subscription for New Statesmen. It is a remarkable British magazine known for its representation of various views on politics, society, economy, arts, science, for that matter.

Gastroscopy is no more: Breath-based stomach tests
How a gastroscopy is performed is explained on NetDoctor.co.uk.
