GalaxyGoo
I decided I was going to review this website when I first started this blog, I apologize that I am just now getting to it. Kristin Henry is an online friend of mine from the Hatrack days and one of the founders of GalaxyGoo. Of all the friend-created websites to which I've been over the years, GalaxyGoo is the only one that I've gone back to time after time to check the new site stuff.
And it is ever-changing, and ever-fascinating. By their own words, GalaxyGoo is...
...are a community of scientists, educators, students, artists, programmers, and professionals committed to providing high quality scientific content and services to our neighbors, students and peers
If you can just wrap your brain around it, you can enjoy it here. For children of all ages and anyone open to learning much of the latest ideas, GalaxyGoo has something for you.
There's a full array of fun stuff that I can really only refer to in a conglomerate as "fun stuff." Most of it is based on Macromedia Flash, so make sure you've got the player on your PC. I think there's a link to download the latest version if you need it.
Also, there's some fastinating articles including resources on HIV and AIDS and a little flash animation about how the cute little HIV Virus goes from cute little blood cells to cute little blood cells.
You just have to check it out for yourself! Right here: GalaxyGoo
