As I paged my way through the most recent issue of Nature, I was intrigued by a Nature advertisement claiming “There’s new life in science education…\u00a0 Online.”\u00a0 A few minutes later, I\u00a0navigated to the\u00a0website advertised.\u00a0 Here is what I found after a few minutes\u00a0of surfing.<\/p>\n

\"scitable1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As noted\u00a0at this new Nature website, Scitable is…<\/p>\n

A free science library and personal learning tool brought to you by Nature Publishing Group, the world’s leading publisher of science. <\/span><\/p>\n

Scitable currently concentrates on\u00a0genetics, the study of evolution, variation, and the rich complexity of living organisms. As you cultivate your understanding of modern genetics on Scitable, you will explore not only what we know about genetics and the ways it impacts our society, but also the data and evidence that supports our knowledge.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

From the main menu, or more conveiniently\u00a0below the introduction, in a\u00a0scrollable section,\u00a0there are\u00a0links to content covering the following genetic topics<\/a>.\u00a0 Each topic has associated articles (current number in the parentheses) and other subcontent.\u00a0 Check out the first link to see what kind of information is available, and the FAQ<\/a> link.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Chromosomes and Cytogenetics<\/a> (22)<\/li>\n
  2. Evolutionary Genetics (13)<\/li>\n
  3. Gene Expression and Regulation (35)<\/li>\n
  4. Gene Inheritance and Transmission (25)<\/li>\n
  5. Genes and Disease (38)<\/li>\n
  6. Genetics and Society (26)<\/li>\n
  7. Genomics (20)<\/li>\n
  8. Nucleic Acid Structure and Function (29)<\/li>\n
  9. Population and Quantitative Genetics (10)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Without registering, it appears that these free articles are all that is available.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    Otherwise after registering, faculty…<\/strong><\/p>\n

    can build a free and easily maintained research site for their students.\u00a0 We’ve created a simple 4-step wizard for creating a virtual classroom<\/a>, or simply browse our library of articles.\u00a0 Scitable<\/em> provides trusted content from Nature Publishing Group and gives your students a powerful online companion to help them understand and appreciate key scientific concepts.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    and students…<\/strong><\/p>\n

    can use Scitable<\/em> as a daily resource for term papers, exam prep and lecture follow up to improve class performance. You can ask experts questions on a variety of topics, browse our extensive library of topics, check out our glossary, or connect with like-minded peers to form study groups or take part in discussions.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
