UnderTheMicroscope

ScienceWoman gives us a heads-up on a new and interesting organization - UnderTheMicroscope.com:

The Feminist Press with IBM have just launched UnderTheMicroscope.com, a new site to involve young women in science and to encourage them to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and math. The site is part of the Women Writing Science, a project initiated by The Feminist Press at the City University of New York and funded by the National Science Foundation.

The site features personal stories of women scientists, role models, and mentors; tips for parents and teachers; links to related women and science sites; videos; and networking. Some of these features are available now, and others will come later this year as noted in the press release below

On the website they have also started a promising-looking blog.
