A search in the NEWS library (ALLNWS file) ran into a brick wall:

PRIONS

Your search has been interrupted because it probably will retrieve more than 
1,000 documents.  You have not been billed for this stopped search.

To continue, you must reformulate your search.  Either edit your current 
search or enter a new search.  What you enter will be search level 1.
So I made the search a bit more specific by limiting to publications with the word science in their titles:
