The big news in Science (big S for the institution of) is the existential crises of the Anthropocene, the art and technology of sustainably occupying planet e, radically transforming human culture around primary support for the ecological planetary biosphere vs the old dominionist paradigm of human centered everything, and the fight to preserve the biological wealth of the planet against the inexorable onslaught of mass consumption and exploit, especially as it impacts global systems like atmospheric and ocean chemistry, threatening habitability of the surface. This news is very exciting!

I think one can only call science news boring if one clings to merely the old idea of science as a simple methodology for validating laws/truth of reality rather than appreciating that Science is the institution of cultural realism and the modern religion to which we all subscribe, so much so that we take it for granted. This is the problem with "science news", is that it's news performed under the presumption that the methodology of scientific practice needs to be more explicit for it to be effective news. This is only true for folks who accept superficial obeisance towards science as significant equivalence for factuality.
