serve everyone from high school students to professional researchers. ... Our
illustrated Dictionary will
give you information on thousands of life science terms. Introduction
to Glycolysis is an interactive textbook supplement that will help you learn human
biochemistry. ... Cyberbotanica,
a virtual chapter in medicinal botany, describes various botanical compounds used in
cancer treatment and the plants that produce them. ... In Science Resources, you'll
find annotated lists of biomedical Web sites for scientists, educators and students alike.
... Our Professional Resources
section will point you to jobs, funding, grad schools, biotechnology regulations, and
more. ... Bioinformatics
will introduce you to this fascinating hybrid of computer science and biology and will
lead you to the best bioinformatics sites on the Web. ... Also be sure to check out BioMedLink, a mega-database of biomedical sites")
