A new web site sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences, spotlights for young girls the varied and intriguing careers of prominent scientists who are women. The site draws from a 10-volume series of biographies entitled "Women's Adventures in Science," including Amy Vedder, a wildlife biologist who studies gorillas in Africa; Nancy Wexler, a neuropsychologist who has researched Huntington's disease; and Cynthia Breazeal, a designer of robots that work cooperatively with people. Each of the profiled women explains her scientific specialty in ways that will engage young minds.
