Periodic Table of Videos

http://www.periodicvideos.com/ A new site from University of Nottingham that's getting rave reviews. The Periodic Table of Videos gives a new slant to the periodic table by providing a short (around 3 mins) video about each element. There are also extra videos on the chemistry of tea, snow, etc. and for April Fool's Day, Fool's Gold. Read the Daily Telegraph article about it here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/scienceandtechnology/science/sciencenews/3347317/YouTube-periodic-table-Explosive-video-guides.html

Online access to Nature

Something I know a lot of you have been waiting for - online access to the journal Nature. Our new subscription allows access to the current year plus four previous years. For access from outside College click on Login and then on Athens Login and enter your ITS username and password. I expect to see high usage stats for this one!
