About The Morning Science
A daily newspaper for science. It writes no articles of its own: it reads the open feeds of journals, science desks, agencies and labs, keeps what someone who follows science closely should have heard about, and links to the original reporting.

Why it exists
Science news is spread over hundreds of places: journals, preprint servers, press offices, agencies, science desks, YouTube and podcasts. Following all of them is a job of its own, and the few things that really matter on a given day get buried under tutorials, launches and hot takes.
The Morning Science reads all of it so you don’t have to, and gives you one paper a day with what someone who follows science closely should have heard about – each story with every outlet that reported it, and a link to the original.
What’s in the paper
Editorial policy
- 1
Same sources, every day. Nothing is picked by hand and no outlet pays to be included. Every feed is listed with the reason it is in the paper on Our Sources.
- 2
One piece of news, one entry. When several outlets report the same thing, they are grouped into one story that lists every source.
- 3
The news check. Every story is scored from 0 to 100 for “should someone who follows science closely have heard about this today?”, from fixed yes/no questions with published weights. Only stories at 60 or above make the paper; the rest stay reachable but are kept out of search engines. Tutorials, listicles and marketing do not count as news.
How AI is used
Claude, an AI model by Anthropic, helps at three points – and is kept away from the rest.
It does
- Group stories about the same news
- Score them for the news check
- Write the brief on a story page: facts, why it matters, what to do – from all sources of the story
It doesn’t
- Write articles
- Invent quotes
- Change headlines
Briefings are generated automatically and are not checked by a person before they appear. They can be wrong; the original sources are always one click away, and they are what counts.
When it updates
Every day is one edition. The paper collects all its sources every two hours, so today’s edition fills up as the day goes on; stories that arrive later move up when they matter more. At midnight the edition closes and goes into the archive, where every past day stays readable.

A briefing gets something wrong, a story is grouped with the wrong news, or a source is missing? Wrong briefings are regenerated or removed; the change shows in the page’s modified date. Comments are written by readers and reflect their views, not the paper’s.
