Inside Science, AIP’s news service for the general public, publishes its content on the InsideScience.org website, and also makes it available for syndication by mainstream news outlets as a way to help newsrooms provide accurate, reliable science news content to their audiences. The Washington Post is the latest addition to the list of outlets that run Inside Science content, joining a list that includes Fox News, NBCNews.com, CBS Digital, The Christian Science Monitor, and Philly.com. The Post ran its first-ever Inside Science piece, an article by Joel Shurkin on how the marching patterns of ants display traffic management techniques that surpass those of humans. The piece appeared both online and in the May 26, 2015, print edition of the newspaper, in the Health & Science section. As part of Inside Science’s reprint requirements, the article mentions that Inside Science is an editorially independent news service supported by the American Institute of Physics.
