Remember to include the names of particular websites listed here https://www.livescience.com/61995-best-science-websites.html in your search to make sure you’re getting pop science articles instead of scholarly sources. BBC Science, NPR, Vox, NYT, Scientific American, and many others listed there will have the types of articles I’m looking for for this assignment. Additionally, another great place to look that is not listed there is Psychology Today.
For example, if I want to do my essay on the effects of sleep on mental health, I might go to google and search “mental health sleep psychology today” and lo and behold I find this article which is a perfect fit for this assignment. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/balanced/201904/the-powerful-link-between-insomnia-and-depression.
There should be plenty of sources that aren’t behind a paywall so just keep up the search.
