Around the Web: Cool linky stuff for science undergrads

I have a son who's currently a first year physics student. As you can imagine, I occasionally pass along a link or two to him pointing to stuff on the web I think he might find particularly interesting or useful. Thinking on that fact, I surmised that perhaps other science students might find those links interesting or useful as well. Hence, this series of posts here on the blog.

By necessity and circumstance, the items I've chosen will be influenced by my son's choice of major and my own interest in computational approaches to science.

The previous post in this series is here.

Thanks. Very appropriate links and info for a rational, scientific approach to life.
