Hello,
Although I¹ll try to post this on the website, it seems sufficiently
likely to be of some use that it should also be forwarded to you.
[My apologies for earlier inadvertent post. Maybe when I¹m 137 I¹ll
remember to triple-check the ³To:² line.]
Happy New Year to all!
Steve Stepenuck

Dear Science Educators and Professionals:
We have new, free materials on biomedical topics. These print and online
resources include:
* A new edition of The Chemistry of Health that includes:
> * a full-color booklet featuring chemistry basics
> * short "Meet a Chemist" profiles
> * a companion poster
> * an extensive online resource, ChemHealthWeb
> (http://publications.nigms.nih.gov/chemhealth/), with downloadable chapters,
> chemistry A-Z glossary, molecule gallery and chemistry-related puzzles and
> games.
* Two full-color classroom posters available at
*
http://publications.nigms.nih.gov/order/pubdescriptions/chemhealthwebposter.
html and
*
http://publications.nigms.nih.gov/order/pubdescriptions/findingsposter.html.
* The latest issue of Findings magazine at
http://publications.nigms.nih.gov/findings/issues.asp. This issue features
Marc Zimmer, a biochemist who studies glow-in-the-dark proteins, and Lola
Eniola-Adefeso, a chemical engineer who studies methods to improve heart
disease drugs.
Like all of our offerings, these printed and online resources focus on
medically relevant life sciences and are free of charge. Printed materials
are available individually or in classroom sets. They are also downloadable
from http://publications.nigms.nih.gov/order/classroom.html.
Here is a sampling of our products:
* Findings <http://publications.nigms.nih.gov/findings/> magazine, which
profiles vibrant scientists and includes puzzles and games. Each semi-annual
issue introduces students not only to cutting-edge research, but also to the
varied personalities, hobbies and backgrounds of the researchers, who serve
as role models for future scientists. Our new "Ask a Scientist" online
feature allows students to submit relevant scientific questions to
researchers profiled in the magazine. Subscriptions are free.
* Award-winning booklets
<http://publications.nigms.nih.gov/order/classroom.html> on topics
including cell biology, genetics, chemistry, pharmacology, structural
biology and computational biology. Several of the booklets are enhanced with
additional online content.
* Interactive games and crossword puzzles
<http://publications.nigms.nih.gov/classroom/quiz/> that teach science.
* Scientific image galleries <http://images.nigms.nih.gov/> containing
downloadable photos, illustrations and videos.
* Video and audio <http://www.nigms.nih.gov/multimedia/> interviews with
scientists.
* A monthly electronic newsletter
<http://publications.nigms.nih.gov/biobeat/index.html> that highlights
recent scientific advances. Subscriptions are free.
