The following sites are some of what I consider my
most frequently visited sites and a number of other sites which I have found listed in
various science teacher publications over the last several years. They reflect a wide
range of interests - but are mainly scientific or pedagogical.

SCIENCE - This page is maintained by Alistair B. Fraser in an attempt to sensitize

various disciplines.

- 4,000
years of women in science! Did you know that? Women are, and always have been,
scientists. This site lists over 125 names from our scientific and technical past. They
are all women! This site grew out of the public talks given by Dr. Sethanne Howard,
currently with NASA. The list includes inventors, scholars and writers as well as
mathematicians and astronomers. By the end of the twentieth century there are more women
in science than they can list- thousands and thousands of them. So they do not include
most women who live in the 1900's.

actually is. It is the essential guide to cyberspace and the adventures of the on-line
world. It is the first continuous weekly broadcast series to capitalize on the incredible
growth and popularity of the Internet and the World Wide Web. It will be the
"bible" for current Netters and the virtual tele-reference for would-be Netters.
The Internet Cafe is also the ultimate search engine. It adds intelligent, human,
editorial guidance to on-line users trying to figure out where to go. It helps them to
determine which on-line destinations are worth their time and money.

- Weird Science (Internet
Cafe)- Excellent listing of WEIRD science sites. Spam Cam and the Ig Nobel Prizes are
only two of them. http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/ig_nobel/ The Sixth First Annual Ig Nobel
Prize Ceremony was held on Thursday evening, October 3, 1996 (by the Gregorian calendar),
at Harvard's Sanders Theater. Prizes were handed out by genuine Nobel Laureates Dudley
Herschbach, William Lipscomb and others. A good-natured spoof of science and the Nobel
Prizes, the ceremony honors people whose achievements "cannot or should not be
reproduced."
