I caught up on Nature issues - special mention to a fascinating overview on bees and bee research - and some of the Economist. I also read two chapters of The Sixth Extinction.

I used to read Nature all the time, when I worked for a company that had online subscriptions to All The Journals. Should check to see of the library has it...

It's a good Hot Topics overview for science research. I don't often dip into the full-length research papers unless there's something specific to my field, but I nearly always read the first half of an issue (through the Letters) as the articles are pretty accessible even when they're about things like cancer mutations in stem cells which is sooo not my area of expertise.
