Subject: Educational sites from research organisations
A little time ago there was an interesting 'conversation' here about web
sites for schools.
I'm now looking for something a bit different. Educational (in the broadest
sense) sites produced by scientific organisations, for example, government
labs, university groups, learned societies, museums (perhaps where there is
a research element) or anything else that could fit into this slot.
I ask because once again I am using other people to do some homework for my
column in Scientific Computing World.
The scientific community is always bemoaning the lack of youngsters entering
the "trade". It is also in a good position to do something about this by
passing on the excitement of doing research. Then again, many scientists
have a problem communicating, and would probably need help to pitch at the
right level. I wonder how many have even thought of the issue.
If there are sites out there that work, it might help to hold these up as
examples and to show others what is possible.
So, any favourite sites out there.
