BEST OF THE WEB N.13
Per il microbiologo
http://genengnews.com/best-of-the-web/microbehunter-microscopy-magazine/2910/
Here is a website that taps into the inner microscopist that resides within each of us—for who isn’t fascinated by the beautiful structures and organisms that are too small to see with the naked eye? MicrobeHunter.com is the online home for the magazine of the same name, as well as a corresponding blog. The monthly magazine (available for free via PDF download) includes its fair share of beautiful microscopy images, information about microscopes, and do-it-yourself articles such as how to build a Lego microscope. Beyond the magazine, the website includes tutorial videos and a “beginner’s guide to microscopy.” The site includes an image gallery (because, let’s be honest, no microscopy website is complete without one) as well as a community forum and a sizeable list of microscopy-related links.

http://genengnews.com/best-of-the-web/pathbase/2907/
The product of a group of geneticists and pathologists from the United States and across Europe, PathBase is an online resource for mouse pathology that features histopathology images from wild-type and genetically manipulated mouse lines.
Per il biologo
http://genengnews.com/best-of-the-web/ibiology/2906/
We are officially in the era of free online educational resources, and this includes the fantastic website iBiology. With a tagline of “bringing the world’s best biology to you,” iBiology does just that through its seminars, educational resources, and magazine.
Per il Chimico
http://genengnews.com/best-science-apps/organic-chemistry-flashcards/218/
If you find yourself needing (or wanting) to brush up on your organic chemistry (ah, good ol’ o-chem), the Organic Chemistry FlashCards app may be a useful addition to your study toolkit. The app consists of 17 decks of (unsurprisingly) flashcards covering major topics in organic chemistry such as spectroscopy, electrophilic aromatic substitution, and cycloadditions.
Per il ricercatore / scienziato
http://genengnews.com/best-of-the-web/test-my-brain/2911/
Do you want to do brain teaser-like puzzles and help science at the same time? The Test My Brain website allows site visitors to participate in seven tests, each of which represents an active area of research in cognitive neuroscience. The tests are short, ranging from estimated completion times of 5 to 20 minutes…the perfect duration for a web-surfing break during a long day in lab. The tests range from solving puzzles, to face recognition, to assessments of what you value, to continuous concentration. In addition to the seven tests, the website also includes a companion blog that covers related research topics. Although it’s unfortunate that the number of tests on the website is small, this page is definitely worth a visit if you’re looking to kill a few minutes and contribute to research at the same time.
Per l’insegnante di biologia
http://genengnews.com/best-science-apps/leica-science-lab/216/
The capabilities of modern microscopes and imaging techniques are vast, and well—let’s face it—there are only so many hours in the day to devote to studying microscopy. The Leica Science Lab is an excellent app (to accompany the website of the same name) to facilitate your education on key techniques in microscopy and their applications.
Per il naturalista
http://genengnews.com/best-science-apps/naturetap/221/
Be they children or adults, nature lovers will enjoy this beautiful app by Green Mountain Digital. New users get access to the “free birds” sampler, and if you choose to register for a free account (name and email required), you will also gain access to the insects and spiders module
