The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) has been publishing Coffee Break since 1999. This resource combines recent biomedical discoveries with NCBI tools and makes for an edifying read. It's perfect for advanced high school students and college undergraduates who are keeping up on the latest in biotech breakthroughs. Typical articles sport titles like, "From the Statue of Liberty to the coin in your back pocket: The secret life of copper," and, "A gut feeling: Bugs are critical to your health." Each article begins with a brief introduction that explains the works relationship to a broader context, then scales down to the molecular level.
