SHARES 2005


Lawrence Hall of Science
Helps Kids Across U.S.

The Lawrence Hall of Science is UC Berkeley's public science center, fostering understanding and enjoyment of science and mathematics for audiences of all ages. The center develops dozens of exhibitions, 12 published curricula used by more than 20 percent of the nation's K-12 students, and hundreds of programs for students and teachers. Berkeley Lab employees can donate to the center, and many more, through the SHARES campaign, now through Nov. 18. To learn more about SHARES, go here. To make online contributions, go here. Send any questions to the SHARES answer line.

WORLD OF SCIENCE

Every Picture Tells
A Science Story

Illustration of neuron in brain
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and in few realms is that more true than science. The successful illustration of research concepts goes a long way in helping others understand what it's all about. Which is why the National Science Foundation each year sponsors a "Science and Engineering Visualization Challenge," which honors the top photographs, illustrations, graphics, and media that represent research from institutions around the world. Go here to see a list of this year's winners.
