	Science-Teaching in Schools : Nature
		THE claims of Physical Science, on a priori grounds, to a fair place in the course of school work, have been abundantly vindicated, and are, I suppose, established.
		Of the necessity for teaching science to their boys many good schoolmasters are convinced; as regards the machinery by which it is to be taught, they mostly confess their ignorance, and cry aloud for guidance.
		That all head-masters should have such knowledge is a fact which, if science is to be taught at all, trustees and governing bodies must come to recognise before long: meanwhile every school which teachers science thoroughly is training skilled teachers for a not distant generation.

	ALA \| Keeping Current in Science
		Science permeates our lives: the human genome project, the space station, stem cell research, genetic engineering, radiation, diseases, and pollution.
		One fun way to illustrate the pervasiveness of science in our lives is to pick current news stories and ask your students to find the science behind the news.
		Drawing on major scientific journals, magazines, and newspapers in the United States and abroad, Today’s Science covers all the topics that today’s students study: health, the environment, technology, life science, physical science, earth and space science, and science and society.

	Star Wars Origins - Other Science Fiction Influences (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Science fiction has arguably existed since the beginning of recorded history, but it was French author Jules Verne (1828-1905) who created and popularized the basic blueprint for the "fantastic gadget" story.
		Interestingly, of all the larger-than-life heros in science fiction, the two who came closest to having really existed were Captain Kirk and Paul Atriedes, both fictionalized, heterosexual versions of famous gay military leaders (Lord Nelson and T.E. Lawrence).
		Their mission was "the furtherance of science and its dissemination among the laymen of the world and the final betterment of humanity." In other words, a bunch of geeks seeking to "save a world that hates and fears us." Yep...

	John C. Merriam
		Born in 1869 in Hopkinson, Iowa, John C. Merriam started his paleontological career in the usual way, collecting the fossils found near his home — specifically, Paleozoic invertebrates.
		During this time, and especially after his retirement as president in 1938, his interests turned to the place of science in human thought and human values.
		But Merriam was not interested so much in evolution itself as in the perspective that an understanding and appreciation of the natural world — whether based on science, art, or pure aesthetics — could bring to human life.

		A staff of more than 200 scientists, curators, educators, and administrators pursues a broad scientific agenda, investigating the origin and evolution of life on earth, the richness and variety of human culture, and the processes that shaped the planet and the universe.
		There are profiles of all ten museum departments: astronomy, earth and planetary sciences, herpetology, mammalogy, ichthyology, ornithology, entomology, invertebrates, vertebrate paleontology, and anthropology (human culture and biology).

	The empty pipeline in computer science
		Computer *science*, as others have pointed out, is a well-established rigorous academic discipline devoted to the study of computation.
		However, saying that a computer *science* degree curriculum must be redesigned because it doesn't teach students the skills that today's employers demand sounds odd to me. A computer science degree was never intended as a purely vocational qualification, any more than a degree in physics, biology or chemistry would be.
		Computer science, as any branch of science or engineering, always needs more bright, hardworking people, but it needs people who are dedicated and competent, not lured by the promise of high salaries.

	The Sun's sizzling corona heats up
		NASA Science News presents "Feature Stories", where you can sit back, relax, and enjoy an in-depth look at ongoing research (or sometimes a story that's just plain fun).
		It wasn't until the 17th and 18th centuries that astronomers were certain that the corona surrounded the Sun and not the Moon.
		The first hint that the corona might be really interesting surfaced during the total solar eclipse of August 7, 1869, which was visible from Alaska to North Carolina, when observers discovered a weak emission line in the green part of the spectrum of the corona.

		This was shown later by Ramsey (in 1900) to come from an element then unknown on Earth and therefore given the name Helium - now measured as the second most abundant element in the Universe.
		Coronal eclipse spectra taken in 1869 also showed mysterious green and yellow spectral lines first attributed to another unknown element given the name "Coronium".
		It was only much later, after the development of quantum mechanics and the measurement of spark discharge spectra by Bowen Edlen (1939), that the physicist Grotrian was able to solve the mystery of the coronium.

	Science in the 19th Century Periodical
		At the same time, the division of the journal into separate disciplinary sections such as 'Science and Philosophy' and 'Classical and Modern Philology', as well as the stipulation that signed reviews should be by known experts in the particular field, nevertheless helped contribute to the increasingly specialized nature of academic research in this period.
		While the Academy was divided into separate disciplinary departments, each of these sections was, in turn, sub-divided between one or two lengthy signed reviews, often written by eminent intellectual celebrities, and several columns of brief anonymous notes, abstracts and reports, which were generally compiled by younger, less well-known contributors.
		Additionally, details of persons, institutions and publications mentioned in these scientific news-digests have been included in the Index only when they are either especially prominent in the particular item, or are relevant to issues and topics discussed elsewhere in the journal or to the wider scientific concerns of the period.
