“The Royal Soci­ety, based in the United King­dom, is not only 350 years old, but is also not about the royal fam­ily. Rather, The Royal Soci­ety is all about science–influencing sci­ence pol­icy and debat­ing sci­en­tific issues, with other sci­en­tists and the pub­lic. Their web­site is loaded with resources, such as their “News” sec­tion which has arti­cles on sci­ence, edu­ca­tion, indus­try and the envi­ron­ment culled from the major daily news­pa­pers. Click on the “Library and Archives” sec­tion to be cat­a­pulted into a vir­tual room of resources such as the “Sci­ence Pol­icy Col­lec­tion”, “Dig­i­tal Jour­nal Archive”, “Bio­graph­i­cal Infor­ma­tion on Fel­lows”, and “Pic­ture Library”. The Library events pod­casts are easy-to-listen-to and wide-ranging, though many are about the his­tory of sci­ence, and include video and audio pod­casts. Pod­casts about sci­en­tific fail­ure, apothe­caries, and the tam­ing of elec­tric­ity are just some of the titles avail­able from the past two years of library events. Vis­i­tors shouldn’t miss using the unique search fea­ture called “Select an Audi­ence” at the bot­tom of any page of the site that allows them to choose what infor­ma­tion is viewed based on who they are, i.e. teacher, stu­dent, pol­i­cy­maker, researcher, media, sci­en­tist, or fel­low. Such a fea­ture really helps to make a large web­site, such as this, much more acces­si­ble and easy to nav­i­gate. [KMG] ”
