I find Realities in RP Science to be informative. It was a lengthy read but is kept interesting by not using technical and scientific terms that can confuse a reader. I like the way the article was straightforward, a noticeable fact seen through the reasons (brain drain, excessive red tape) that were given right after a brief introduction of the topic. The ending paragraph summarized his key points.
The second article was more technical. It employed a simple, straightforward writing style like the first article but was more difficult to understand. The word genome may not be readily understood by all readers and so leads to difficult comprehension of ideas presented. If I were to rewrite the article, I would try to omit not-so-useful sentences and would stick to using simple words to prevent unclear ideas.
The third article, From Museum Basement, a `New’ Dinosaur, was both interesting and informative. It was shorter than the other two articles but it conveyed concise ideas that gave it clarity. It was successful in delivering scientific news through use of simple terms and language.
The article about the vocal range of animals was light but was full of fresh information. It did not only enumerate the facts about animals and their vocal ranges but was able to support this info with research.
Here are the articles' links. :)
