    Update

    This website brings together news of the latest science research from universities in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and the USA. There are four main categories: Earth and the Environment; Health & Medicine; Science & Technology and Society & Culture. Most of the news consists of articles illustrated with still photographs but some moving imagery is used, as in this article which looks at how quickly can glaciers grow (and melt)?, using a study of the prehistoric activity of Baffin Island’s glaciers with a view to developing accurate models to predict how climate change in the future will affect glaciers and ice sheets.

    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.
