Educational Links
When you think of a university website, you probably think of pages that describe the campus, the courses, sports teams, student organizations and the like. But there can be a lot more. This week I received the fall edition of my alumni newsletter (from the University of Florida), and it lists some links on a number of subjects:
www.arts.ufl.edu/asb -- here you can see more than 90 works of public art located around the UF campus.
www.flmnh.ufl.edu/natsci/herpetology/fl-guide/snakekey.htm -- the Florida Museum of Natural History offers a layman's guide to help identify snakes.
www.cba.ufl.edu/podcasts/tuesdayswithtosi/index.asp -- the home of "Tuesdays with Tosi," an issue-driven podcast produced by UF's Warrington College of Business Administration. Recent topics include "Is Your Boss in Love with the Person in the Mirror?," "You Call That A Bargain?," and "Who's Afraid of the SEC?" (That's the Securities and Exchange Commission, NOT the Southeastern Conference.)
www.flmnh.ufl.edu/fish/Sharks/puzzle/puzzles.html -- Another offering of the Florida Museum of Natural History, this is a collection of word games that teaches about sharks.
www.fireinflorida.com -- With the wildfires burning in California, this site is probably more timely than anyone expected when the newsletter was put together. UF's School of Forest Resources and Conservation teaches how to protect your home from forest fires, and why some fires are beneficial.
