An Idea for a Science Blog I'd like to see (but don't have time to make)

Jim Van Pelt has an interesting post up on The Fix today about how to generate ideas for Hard SF. From my reading of it, he's mostly recommending a variety of pop sci books by good authors. I have an ingrained dislike of pop sci books based on the attitudes of my professors on the subject when I was studying biology in college. So, my inclination would be, when looking for a hard SF idea, to turn to the primary literature rather than the pop science books. I'd be more on the cutting edge anyway, and I have a feeling if every author got their Hard SF ideas for a handful of pop sci books, then there would be a lot of very similar stories being produced. Not that that doesn't happen already, and we know the idea isn't all there is to the story, but anyway, onto the blog idea.

Someone with access to the big primary biological sciences literature should post reviews/summaries in laymen's terms of each issue. Nature, Science, and more. People could volunteer and write in summaries for any primary literature they want. Group blog the literature. Get it out there in the web, in a format that science-interested people can understand. Because I think there's a barrier still between that level of academic knowledge and the web population. I'd like to see a gateway giving me a glimpse at what's going on. I don't know where the local unversity's science library is, and I can't afford to subscribe to those magazines (who can?).

Anyone know of something like that already?

Tangentially, I've always thought that there was a missing puzzle piece in our system. We have scientists, and we have policy makers. What we don't have are professionals who can talk to both worlds, and connect the right policy makers/politicians with the right scientists. Basically, I think, and it's sad but true--today, science research of all kind needs a PR agency. In a way, science fiction was science's PR agency in the old days.
