Everybody who is active in science reads papers, but what about magazines? Books? Blogs?
An example that I particularly enjoy is Jeremy Kun's blog. He posts really informative primers about algebra, information theory, neat computational problems, etc. that are interesting and informative to people with a STEM background but who aren't necessarily involved in CS theory. It would be interesting to hear about other things of that nature.
I like to keep up in the academic world within and without physics (my background is in EE and I'm a physics Ph.D. student now), but it seems like most books that aren't textbooks are geared towards non-scientists. Same for most news outlets- I like reading opinion pieces, discussion, etc. on recent developments outside of my field (quantum communication), that aren't necessarily drooling over the implications for quantum computers and FTL travel.
