Dear all,
It seems timely to let you know about a new initiative in public
understanding in science.
The Wellcome Trust Information Service is developing a Web site in
conjunction with OMNI-Organising Medical Networked Information that
will provide a gateway to public understanding of science and science
communication information on the Internet.
The site, still under development, consists of a search and browse
catalouge of Web-based resources for PUS and science communication. 200
resources have been identified, catalogued and added to the database so
far. The site will also consist of a browseable list of events. Online
submit buttons will allow users of the site to nominate Web sites for
inclusion and alert us to up-coming events.Other sections include a link
to this mailing list and an archive of bibliographies on PUS and science
communication. The site URL will be revealed soon. It is hoped that the
service will be launched by early May.
The success of the site will very much depend on contributions from
folks such as yourselves, one of the principle target audiences, and I'd
like to take this opportunity to call for Web sites and up-coming
events.
