With a dramatic image of a bustling city superimposed over a peaceful forest, the National Science Foundation's homepage on the ecology of infectious diseases is quite intriguing. After clicking on the image, visitors will be treated to an overview of this special report that asks: "Is our interaction with the environment somehow responsible for the increases in incidence of these diseases?" The report is divided into five sections, each exploring a different facet of the National Science Foundation's work on this problem. The sections include "Medical Mystery Solved" and "Lyme Disease on the Rise". Each of these sections includes helpful graphics, well-written text, and links to additional sites. Overall, the site will be most useful for science educators and members of the public health community. [KMG]

To find this resource and more high-quality online resources in math and science visit Scout's sister site - AMSER, the Applied Math and Science Educational Repository at Applied Math and Science Education Repository - Home.

Eris, I am signed up for a newsletter which comes once a week, therefore not overwhelming.

It is called Internet Scout Progect. They send out some very good site link information; sites with integrity to a huge variety of interests, to include internet tools.

I usually save each newsletter, but at times I scan it and keep what I may want for future use.

After "In This issue" there is a brief description of the site and then you can click the link there.

Here is an excerpt of Feb. 26th edition:
