Any publication or website works, preferably if its somewhat easily accessible (no paywall or low subscription cost)
Your school should offer free access to many of the main Biochem journals through the library. Many of the best regarded journals are in the Nature publishing group (i.e. Nature, Nature Methods, Nature Medicine, Nature Communications, Nature Chemical Biology, etc) or Cell Press (i.e. Cell, Neuron). Annual Review of Biochemistry is good as well. It also depends on what area of biochem/mol bio you’re interested in. If you want to read about moelcular bio in cancer there are excellent journals devoted solely to that, journal devoted solely to microbio molecular techniques, etc.
If you would like to find articles on a specific topic you can use Pubmed to search many journals for specific articles. If you don’t know how to use Pubmed, you should learn!
Yes I’ll check my college’s offerings - Nature and Cell are certainly good suggestions.
I was thinking more along the lines of articles/pop-sci rather than studies since those take some time to get through. Something like Scientific American or whatever the bio/Chem equivalent of “The Economist” is. I know Genome Magazine offers a good peak into pharmacogenomics which is an interesting field. (Antibiotics and pharmacology interest me, but anything you find interesting works as well since I have a lot to learn)
Thanks!
I see. I am familiar with a magazine called “Popular Science” that covers all science topics. It might be worth checking out. I don’t know of anything bio specific though.
There are so many journals out there that it’s impossible to find all the relevant interesting info from just a few journals if you’re interested in a specific topic. I use Google Scholar to search for topics relevant to the research I’m doing.
If you don’t have a defined area of interest, then Nature and Science. Cell, Blood, Journal of Immunology, PLoS One, PNAS are also other good ones.
PNIS works too lol. http://pnis.co/hard1.html
I also have some strange…affinity…for the chemjobber blog (http://chemjobber.blogspot.com/) (There are some biochem related posts)
