Am I alone in being perfectly happy reading about science for the duration of an article, and not particularly caring about the scientist and what breed of dog he has etc.?
science.org is like a good quality popsci magazine. People read it for the science, but also for entertainment. The aim is to make science engaging to non-scientists. If you just want the science then you should be heading to Nature or Arxiv.
Actually, both Nature and Science call themselves 'magazines', and they have plenty of pop-science-compatible content, mixed with primary literature.
Arxiv needs to be taken with a huge grain of salt because much of the content is not peer-reviewed.
