News of SciberBrain is spreading fast. Following our article in The Biochemist we have had a modest flurry of media interest in the SciberBrain project.Here is an extract from our press release which featured in The Sciblorg and Biochemist e-volution in May.
The Biochemical Society today announced it has received £113,317 from the Monsanto Fund, a private foundation and the philanthropic arm of the Monsanto Company, to continue funding the production of new resources for secondary school science.
The Society's education team have drawn on their extensive links with leading scientists and teachers in the development of SciberBrain resources. The website www.sciberbrain.org will feature free activities, games and animated slideshows that can be used online or in the classroom to inspire young people about developments in modern bioscience. Topics such as stem cell research, vaccinations and genetically modified organisms will be explored.
Also, keep your eyes peeled for a SciberBrain feature in the Guardian supplement on science education, out on 23rd June!
