Perhaps I'm just being oversensitive to accusations of intellectual eliteism, but I've occasionally got the impression that some 'lithers feel a bit adrift when they venture into the Lab. Hopefully we'll have a bunch of permalinks in the future which will remedy that, but until then I thought that the following might be useful.
TIPS:
If you don't understand something, then for goodness sake say so. You may get joshed a little but no-one's going to laugh at you (and if they do then fuck'em).
If someone posts a link, it's a good idea to visit the site and read it. If you find a site too dry or obscure to be helpful, then mention this. Someone else might have a more accessible take on the same information.
The Barbelith search facility is now working. Make use of it. (Filling in the summaray field will make your topic easier to find).
LINKS:
Magazines
New Scientist
Science magazine
Science News Online
Scientific American
Online reference tools & search engines
Google
Wikipedia
Encyclopædia Britannica
Dictionary.com
And finally, if you're new to HTML this might be useful. Not all the tags will work on this board, of course, but you can find out how to make hyperlinks and post images.
I'm sure we'll get plenty more suggestions, but this'll do for a start. |
