Daily Neuron is an independent science news website dedicated to reporting on the latest research into consciousness, cognitive science, and the philosophy of mind. Our publication explores the intersection of neuroscience, psychology, and related scientific fields.
Our mission is to provide objective, reliable, and accessible information on the science exploring one of humanity’s most profound questions: What is consciousness? By reporting on a wide variety of important, interesting, and overlooked studies, Daily Neuron offers the general public, academics, and professionals a free and insightful glimpse into the latest knowledge being uncovered by scientists.
The website was founded by George Semaan, who currently serves as the editor-in-chief.
Our Approach
Many science news publications rely heavily on press releases sent out by universities. While valuable, this can lead to a narrow scope of coverage, often focusing only on findings that are actively promoted.
Daily Neuron, in contrast, takes a proactive journalistic approach by searching through scientific journals to uncover important and interesting research that may have been overlooked. This allows us to report on foundational research, null-result studies, and incremental advancements that are crucial for the scientific process but not always deemed newsworthy by traditional media. This method ensures a broader and more comprehensive view of the state of modern science.
Editorial Standards
- Scientific Rigor: We are committed to reporting on research that has been published in credible, peer-reviewed scientific journals.
- Objectivity: We strive to present findings with fairness and objectivity, clearly distinguishing between established research and speculative theories. We avoid sensationalism and misrepresentation of scientific information.
- Clarity & Accessibility: We are committed to translating complex scientific and philosophical concepts into clear, accurate, and understandable language for a broad audience.
- Ethical Reporting: We adhere to high standards of journalistic integrity, maintaining accuracy, transparency, and respect for privacy in our coverage.
