Gateway to Science Information

As the website states, "Science.gov is a gateway to government science information and research results. Currently in its fifth generation, Science.gov provides a search of over 45 scientific databases and 200 million pages of science information with just one query, and is a gateway to over 2100 scientific websites." We all have had the experience of trying to do an Internet search and coming up with less that stellar results, usually because someone wants to sell us something! This website is an interagency initiative of 18 U.S. government science organization within 14 Federal Agencies. It is an easy-to-use site which allows you to browse topics like agriculture & food, biology & nature, physics & chemistry and a number of other science related subjects. This site would be of interest to students, the layperson, or those within a science profession. All would benefit from this interesting resource.
