SciTechDaily is a popular science website, containing sections on space, physics, biology, technology and chemistry.[1][2] It was founded in 1998 by Vicki Hyde,[2] originally as Sci Tech Daily Review, a companion site to Arts & Letters Daily.[3][1] It became popular as a news aggregation site for science and technology content, featuring curated links with brief summaries to third-party sites such as NOVA: Science in the news;[4] magazines such as The Discovery Channel, Scientific American, Popular Science;[4] niche sites such as The Apothecary's Drawer, Brain.com, and the Glossary of Mathematical Mistakes;[5] as well as international newspapers.[4]
Since 2011, SciTechDaily has changed its format to publish articles directly on its site, rather than providing a daily digest of links.[2] According to the publisher, its content is republished on sites such as Yahoo!News, Ars Technica, and Futurism, and many others.[2]
