A lot of people shirk at the Guardian because it's a notoriously left-wing, progressive paper politically. People often mirror their sentiments about that onto other, none political articles unfortunately.
On the science side it's mostly written by Nicola Davis. She has a MChem and DPhil in organic chemistry from the University of Oxford, which is more than most sciences journalists can say. However, she has a pretty prestigious output; anywhere between 5 and 20 articles a month. Seems like a lot of "read a journal article, write a slightly sensationalist story around it". Not the worst in the industry by any means.
