Time Magazine
Graphic by Fielding Cage and Joe Lertola
• Time currently features a solid non-specialist article on the biology of addiction, including some nicely executed web graphics showing brain structures (above)

• MIT OpenCourseWare | Literature | Darwin and Design

• Nature’s Milestones in Development series
I used these when I taught developmental biology.
