I use Phys.org at work for a newsfeed.

Also quite like The Conversation, all the articles are written by academics and science + tech commentaries are usually decent.

The BPS research digest has consistently been voted the best science blog on the internet simply because it's so detailed and accessible. There's also a more focused occupational psychology version that deals more with business and HR stuff.

http://www.bps.org.uk/publications/rese ... rch-digest

Others:
- https://www.sciencenews.org/ decent coverage but sometimes does the stupid mass media exaggeration of effects kind of thing and has a bias towards positive results.

- http://www.project-syndicate.org interesting journal site where policy makers get to put forward proposals and then other people comment on them. A lot of top professionals and ministers put articles on there and there's a good unbiased mix of viewpoints. Even if you don't agree with everything you can put forward other evidence etc and the comments section is actually highly civilised and rational (obviously well-moderated or just not attractive to trolls yet).
