The NSF is an American Federal Agency which funds research across a wide range of scientific areas, from astronomy to geology to zoology, with the exception of medical science. A particular aim is to fund cutting-edge research: projects and collaborations which may "seem like science fiction today" but tomorrow will be accepted as part of the fabric of everyday life. Their nanoscience page reflects this commitment to pushing back the frontiers of scientific research. The Multimedia Gallery features stills, podcasts, film and video across all fields of science and engineering, again, with an emphasis on current research and development, coupled with an awareness of the foundation’s educational mission.

The Linnean Society of London is a learned society dedicated to the study of taxonomy and natural history and named after the Swedish naturalist Carolus Linnaeus. As its website says, the society "uniquely embraces the entire sweep of natural history [and] promotes the study of all aspects of the biological sciences, with particular emphasis on evolution, taxonomy, biodiversity and sustainability". The website hosts a number of video podcasts, which cover a wide range of subjects from Sir David Attenborough’s Darwin Lecture from November 2011 on Alfred Russel Wallace and The Birds of Paradise, to Science, politics and policy on biodiversity and climate change, encompassing important current trends in biodiversity and conservation as well as the broad sweep of natural history since the 18th century.

This Week in Virology (TWiV) is a site featuring podcasts, lectures and videos about viruses - "the kind that make you sick" as the website puts it. It was begun in September 2008 by Vincent Racaniello and Dick Despommier, two science Professors at Columbia University Medical Centre. Although obviously likely to appeal to those with an academic or professional interest in the subject, the website aims to be accessible to everyone, "no matter what their scientific background".
