The National Academy of Sciences: EngineerGirl!

We like this site because it connects you to the professional society sites specific to the field you want to explore.  We also like that it encourages girls to explore the wonderful field of engineering!

The EngineerGirl website is a service of the National Academy of Engineering (NAE).  It grew out of the work of the Committee on the Diversity of the Engineering Workforce, and was launched in February of 2001. The EngineerGirl website is part of an NAE project to bring national attention to the opportunity that engineering represents to all people at any age, but particularly to women and girls. Bright, energetic girls from all around United States and Canada helped the NAE with the initial development of this site by serving on the Girls Advisory Board.  The ongoing work of the site is overseen by the EngineerGirl Steering Committee.

All things related to the field of biotechnology.  This site has the latest trends in the industry and interviews with professionals.  It’s great for students and educators.

Access Excellence, launched in 1993, is a national educational program that provides health, biology and life science teachers access to their colleagues, scientists, and critical sources of new scientific information via the World Wide Web. The program was originally developed and launched by Genentech Inc., and in 1999 joined the National Health Museum, a non-profit organization founded by former U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop as a national center for health education. Access Excellence will form the core of the educational component of the National Health Museum Website that is currently under development.
