Just too cool to pass up.. Putting the Science in Science Fiction where various experts defunct false information in science fiction, and provide advice on how to write it correctly or realistically.

Breaking common gender stereotypes in the realm of science fiction and fantasy, more than half (64 percent) of the 39 contributors whose essays appear in Putting the Science in Fiction identify as female. Among the essays, you’ll find:

* How To Write Convincing Death Scenes, by science reporter Bianca Nogrady
* A Whirlwind Tour Of The Human Genome, by geneticist Dan Koboldt
* Writing Mental Health by psychiatric nurse practitioner Kathleen S. Allen
* The Science In Jurassic Park, with microbiologist Mike Hays
* Portraying Wolves Fairly & Accurately by environmentalist William Huggins
* CGI Is Not Made By Computers by video game designer Abby Goldsmith
* What’s Possible With Cyborgs and Cybernetics by neuroscientist Benjamin Kinney
* How The Ocean Will Kill You by marine biologist Danna Staaf
* Realistic Space Flight with pilot and aviation journalist Sylvia Spruck Wrigley
* The Weapons Of Star Wars by engineer Judy Mohr

… and dozens more

It's not cheap, but it's cool.
