Becoming Human is an interactive, multimedia documentary experience that tells the story of our origins. Journey through four million years of human evolution with your guide, Donald Johanson.

The Path from Research to Human Benefit is a series of articles that trace the origins of important recent technological and medical advances. Each story reveals the crucial role played by basic science, the applications of which could not have been anticipated at the time the original research was conducted.

The BioClip is a free standing multimedia document. It mixes texts and/or commentaries, music, sounds, videos and animations with fluidity such that a non specialist can understand the background, the context, meaning and perspectives of each discovery and story. The objective of the BioClip Project is to encourage the creation, exchange and distribution of multimedia documents about life sciences and more specifically the cell.

The most remarkable places on Earth are also the most threatened. These are the Hotspots: the richest and most threatened reservoirs of plant and animal life on Earth.

Welcome to the web site for biographies of women in mathematics. These pages are part of an on-going project at Agnes Scott College in Atlanta, Georgia, to illustrate the numerous achievements of women in the field of mathematics. Here you can find biographical essays or comments on the women mathematicians profiled on this site, as well as additional resources about women in mathematics.

BioInteractive is an educational website and a collection of biology-focused teaching materials including streaming video lectures created by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. In addition to the website, BioInteractive offers DVDs of HHMI's annual Holiday Lectures on Science and CD-ROMs of the Virtual Lab series. These materials are available to educators for free and can be ordered from the catalog at catalog.hhmi.org (go to Multimedia Educational products). Topics include: Cancer, neuroscience, genomics and chemical genetics, sex determination, biological clocks, infectious diseases, cardiovascular, immunology, DNA, RNA, eating and sleeping.

The Biology Student Workbench consists of curricular materials centered around molecular biological investigations, links to educational, scientific, computational, and informational resources, and communication tools to bind together a contributing community of educators. It is designed to give a transparent introduction to the use of the Biology Workbench for learning and teaching biology at all levels.

Welcome to Biotech-Adventures, an educational web site designed to present the factual information regarding biotechnology in a way that will entertain both students and adults. Faculty expertise in teaching biology (Dr. Meredith Hamilton), animal biotechnology (Dr. Rodney Geisert), plant biotechnology (Dr. Jonathan Shaver), wildlife genetics (Dr. Ronald Van Den Bussche), veterinary science (Dr. Jerry Malayer) and human medicine (Dr. Lee Rickords) brings together a unique group of scientists to develop materials for teaching biotechnology. Ms. Mary Lou Sheffer, School of Journalism and Broadcasting, working with undergraduates in video development, allowed the production of accurate and entertaining films depicting real applications of biotechnology today. Educators be certain and look through our teacher resources where you can download the illustrations and technical animations from the site for use in your teaching program. The younger crowd, or just young at heart, will enjoy the entertaining computer animations found in the Hands-on section.

What would happen if gravity were so strong that even light could not escape its pull? The answer to this question is the shocking and amazing object known as the black hole. What is a black hole like? How were they first discovered? How do astronomers know if they're seeing one? Quantum mechanics turns black holes from cold, eternal objects into hot shrinking thermodynamics. Physicists wondered: Is there a microscopic origin for black hole entropy? Find out how and why string theory modifies the spacetime equations of Einstein. Thanks to the string duality revolution of the early nineties, a microscopic derivation for black hole entropy has been discovered, at least in theory.

In our site you will discover facts about our planet, its complex patterns of biomes, plants, and animals, and how climates ultimately determine the biomes of our Earth. This site was created to teach students the power of the Internet as a tool for both communication and learning, and how to use this tool while at the same time express their scientific/environmental knowledge in a fun way. Students have individually researched different attributes of major climate regions (biomes). Topics covered include the various animals and plants of these regions, the climates, and other specific biome characteristics. Our hope is that this site will be up-dated, changed and improved by each succeeding 6th grade class for many years.

Brain Facts is a 64-page primer on the brain and nervous system, published by the Society for Neuroscience. In addition to serving as a starting point for a lay audience interested in neuroscience, the book is used at the annual Brain Bee, which is held in conjunction with Brain Awareness Week. The 2005 revised edition of Brain Facts is available now in PDF format (free) and in print. The 2005 edition updates all sections and includes new information on brain development, addiction, neurological and psychiatric illnesses and potential therapies.

BrainMaps.org is an interactive high-resolution digital brain atlas and virtual microscope that is based on scanned images of serial sections of both primate and non-primate brains and that is integrated with a high-speed database for querying and retrieving data about brain structure and function over the internet.

Brains Rule is designed to promote learning about the brain and nervous system among children and adults using new and exciting teaching methods.

It is a little known fact, that Ms Spears is an expert in semiconductor physics. Not content with just singing and acting, in the following pages, she will guide you in the fundamentals of the vital laser components that have made it possible to hear her super music in a digital format.

This site aims to help you really see insects for the miniature marvels they represent and to understand how intertwined our cultures have become with these alien creatures.
