Dr. Becky Smethurst - Oh My Universe https://www.youtube.com/drbecky Dr. Becky Smethurst (a.k.a., Rebecca Smethurst) is an astrophysicist (and visible role model in STEM) at the University of Oxford who has a passion for making videos about science with an unnatural level of enthusiasm with a focus on how we (as a species) know things, not just what we know, and, of course, the things we still don't know. As a professional astrophysicist, Dr. Becky's career involves researching how supermassive black holes can affect their galaxies, and takes a particular interest in whether the energy output from the disk of material orbiting around a growing supermassive black hole can stop a galaxy from forming stars. See also, a book authored by Dr. Becky: Space: 10 Things You Should Know Bill Nye, the Science Guy https://www.billnye.com/ Bill Nye, scientist, engineer, comedian, author, and inventor, is a man with a mission: to help foster a scientifically literate society, to help people everywhere understand and appreciate the science that makes our world work.

C0nc0rdance \| Science and Reason https://web.archive.org/web/20160207123616/http://www.c0nc0rdance.com/ "Concordance" means "harmony between all the parts," and in scientific use it means "arriving at the same conclusion by multiple methodologies." This blogger, who uses the pseudonym "C0nc0rdance," shows, through the use of solid evidence and rational argument, what is junk science and what is real. Carl Sagan Institute (CSI) - The Pale Blue Dot & Beyond http://www.carlsaganinstitute.org/ The Carl Sagan Institute (CSI) was founded to find life in the universe. Based on the pioneering work of Carl Sagan at Cornell University, our interdisciplinary team at Cornell is developing the forensic toolkit to find life in the universe, inside the Solar System and outside of it, on planets and moons orbiting other stars.

Evolution - your one-stop source for information https://evolution.berkeley.edu/ This is a non-commercial, education web site, published by Berkeley University, which teaches the science and history of evolutionary biology. This web site can help you understand what evolution is, how it works, how it factors into your life, how research in evolutionary biology is performed, and how ideas in this area have changed over time. Attention teachers: This in-depth resource also includes teaching materials that are dedicated to helping teachers with the subject of evolution that include classroom strategies, lists of concepts appropriate for different levels (K-12 and Undergraduate), lesson plans, and more. Guide to simple machines used in cars https://www.titlemax.com/resources/a-guide-to-simple-machines-used-in-cars/ As people perform work, simple machines can make tasks easier by pushing or pulling objects over a distance. This guide provides a variety of educational references that explain simple machines including pulleys, wheels and axles, levers, inclined planes, screws, and wedges. When more than one simple machine works together, they create a compound machine. Insects are cool! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX4hZFIpfwwX4U0IrBcKSZw This is a wonderful YouTube video series that focuses on entomology, which is the branch of zoology that is specifically concerned with the study of insects. Do you have a favourite insect? The host of these videos would love to know, so feel free to write to her about this in a YouTube comment on any of her videos. Kidoctr's Progress Notes https://kidoctr.blogspot.com/ Dr. Eve Switzer is a Pediatrician who takes an active interest in correcting misinformation about childrens' health and refuting a wide variety of intentionally-defective pseudo-scientific arguments about vaccines, autism, and other important medical-science topics. In her blog she covers many of these and other important issues in an in-depth manner. Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) https://www.lanl.gov/ Los Alamos National Laboratory is a premier national security research institution, delivering scientific and engineering solutions for the nation's most crucial and complex problems since 1943 (with an emphasis on their primary responsibility of ensuring the safety, security, and reliability of the nation's nuclear deterrent). The laboratory's personnel play leading roles worldwide in basic and applied scientific research and technology. Whether it's conducting crucial experiments in space and at their linear accelerator in Northern New Mexico or developing breakthroughs in nanotechnology and determining how best to prevent the spread of HIV and avian flu, the men and women of Los Alamos help lead the way. National Library of Medicine (NLM) https://www.nlm.nih.gov/ The National Library of Medicine (NLM), on the campus of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, has been a center of information innovation since its founding in 1836. The world's largest biomedical library, NLM maintains and makes available a vast print collection, and produces electronic information resources on a wide range of topics that are searched billions of times each year by millions of people around the globe.
