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.

Beaverton Cares Awareness Program

The Beaverton Cares Awareness Program was developed by the Mayor's Neighborhood Program to raise awareness of the resources available to those in need and to identify ways that members of the community could help their neighbors. The website has an extensive listing of resources available in Beaverton for those who are struggling to make ends meet. Included in the list is information on food pantries, discount drug cards, housing, utility bill assistance and much more. Also included on the website are opportunities for those who would like to volunteer or donate their time or goods to local organizations who assist those in need. Shopping locally can also give a boost to our business community, keeping jobs within our area and helping our local economy. A definite win-win situation!
