Education of Exceptional Children and Youth
Through meetings with disabled people, students revise assumptions about attitudes and behaviours, and challenge prejudice, in order to design suitable alternatives through cooperation with disabled people.
Personal perspectives on disability: experience and feelings. Public and media perception: facts and figures. Models of disability, myths and reality. Current sources of support, criteria and aims, good practice, reasonable adjustments…
The aim of Wikijunior is to produce non-fiction books for children from birth to age twelve. These books could take the form of macropedias, textbooks, or primers. From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection.
Ti racconto una fiaba
La più grande raccolta di fiaba in italiano della rete, dalle fiaba classiche a quelle inviate dagli utenti in versione testuale o multimediale. Un supporto educativo per insegnanti e genitori.
Il progetto nasce dalla profonda convinzione che le fiabe siano un elemento importante per la crescita e la formazione dell'individuo. Il recupero della fiaba come strumento educativo per insegnanti e genitori ci ha spinto a raccogliere più di 1.500 fiabe nel contenitore "Ti racconto una fiaba", raggiungendo numeri impensabili per un progetto completamente gratuito che dimostra come siano sostenibili progetti culturali quando c'è passione (e tecnologia!).
Il progetto propone la fiaba come "contenitore di realtà" (I. Calvino), uno strumento straordinario per narrare il mondo che ci circonda, sfruttando i grandi classici come stimolo per tutti per creare e raccontare il proprio mondo interiore ed esteriore! Ogni lettore può inviare la propria fiaba, sia essa opera di un professionista o frutto della fantasia pura di un bambino. Ogni forma creativa costituisce l'essenza di "Ti racconto una fiaba".
I'll tell you a story
The world largest collection of fairy tales, a really passionate project which involves a lot of creative people! A teaching resource for learning English and as a parenting bedtime-resource.
The project stems from the deep conviction that fairy tales are an important element for the growth and the education of the person, from an early age.
Fairy tales are great educational tools for teachers and parents that's why we have collected more than 1,000 stories in "I'll tell you a story". We have achieved unimaginable results for non-commercial project demonstrating how cultural projects are sustainable when … the passion (and technology!) are in the air!
The fairy tales are vehicles of reality (Italo Calvino), they help us to narrate the story of our lives. The greatest classics are incentives for everyone to create and tell their inner and outer worlds!
On this basis, we have promoted "I'll tell you a story" as a teaching resource for learning English and as a parenting bedtime-resource with great success: more than 50,000 downloads for official Android and iOS applications in less than a month after release and we are ranked in the top 100 in 55 different countries (source: AppAnnie)!
10th Safer Internet Day
The Insafe network is pleased to announce that the theme for the 10th Safer Internet Day will be online rights and responsibilities. The campaign will take place worldwide on Tuesday 5 February 2013. As in previous years, members of the public, schools, NGOs, industry and other stakeholders are all invited to take part.
Continuing on from the success of the 2012 campaign, the Insafe network is working on a second SID kit for schools that will mark this anniversary edition of the campaign. As in previous years, the Insafe network will also release, later this year, a campaign video specific to the 2013 theme along with other resources. In the meantime you can view the SID Generic Video.
About Online Rights and Responsibilities
The Insafe Network is currently preparing the campaign information for SID 2013. We can, however, confirm that the slogan will be 'connect with respect'. As soon as more information is available it will be added to this page.
Want to know how to take part in SID?
You can spread the word by attending or organising an event! You can register for Safer Internet Day by completing the online form. There are three types of registrations available: for schools, for individuals, and for organisations. All registered schools will also receive a digital copy of the SID Kit for schools once it becomes available. Once you've registered Insafe will contact you; if you reside in one of our network countries, this contact will be from your National Awareness Centre.
No national contact point? They why not set up a SID Committee in your country! Contact the SID helpdesk at firstname.lastname@example.com to create your own.
Now you're ready to organise your event. You can use the resources on this page to help you.
Looking for ideas?
Look at some of our previous actions for inspiration:
- Post our banner (coming soon) / publish our press release on your website (due for publication end of 2012)
- Follow our Facebook and Twitter campagin pages, or view SID videos past and present on our YouTube accounts (Insafe / Pan-EU Youth)
- Spread the word through the media.
- Host an event such as a conference on online safety in your community.
- Arrange workshops in schools and private companies.
- Orchestrate debates between young people and policy-makers.
Don't forget to keep your National Awareness Centre or SID Committee informed so that they can valorise your action.

Developing Key Competences at School in Europe: Challenges and Opportunities for Policy
This report reviews national policies for the development of key competences at school in Europe. It acknowledges the progress made so far in implementing the key competences approach and discusses several policy challenges that are directly linked to the contribution of education and training to meeting changing skills demands: tackling low achievement in reading, mathematics and science; increasing the number of mathematics science and technology graduates, and further support for the acquisition of transversal competences such as IT skills, entrepreneurship and civics.
The report covers 31 European countries (EU Member States, Croatia, Iceland, Norway, and Turkey) and takes the reference year 2011/12. Information covers compulsory and secondary general education.

• Interact with artificially intelligent characters on a touch screen
• See algebra in a whole new light
• Experiment with a portable science kit for teenagers
• See the networked touch-table classroom

Most Grammys in one night
Can anyone repeat Adele's six-Grammy sweep? Dan Auerbach (of the Black Keys), fun., Jay-Z, Mumford & Sons, Frank Ocean and Kanye West are all up for six trophies at the 55th Grammy Awards (CBS, Feb. 10, 8 p.m. ET/tape delay PT). But it's a long shot for any of them to join that small group of artists who have scored six or more wins in one night. USA TODAY talks to veteran Grammy expert Paul Grein, who writes the Chart Watch blog for Yahoo, about the eight artists who earned more awards than they could carry.

Amphipols are a new class of polymers that serve as stabilizers of membrane proteins in aqueous solutions. Amphipol A835 detergents can be used to keep membrane proteins soluble in detergent-free aqueous solutions while stabilizing them biochemically.
Structurally, the Amphipol molecule is amphipathic and consists of two faces on separate 3-dimensional planes. Strong hydrophilic functional groups reside on one side of the molecule and function to keep the complex soluble.
On the opposite side are long hydrophobic acryl chains which and serve to stabilize the membrane protein. The hydrophobic side of the molecule hugs the portion of the protein formally housed in the lipid environment.

The 1954 Giro began amidst a great fuss. The war had a devastating effect on Italy's roads, infrastructure and wider economy, leaving millions of Italians disoccupati, out of work. In Tuscany the Piaggio fighter plane factories had been totally destroyed by allied bombs in 1943. Enrico Piaggio, heir to the family silver, was tasked with rebuilding not only the factory, but with it the wealth of the Piaggio dynasty. Reckoning that what Italians most needed was small, affordable transportation, he had Corradino D'Ascanio, his chief designer, set to work on a clean, cheap two-wheeled vehicle. It had a faring covered engine at the rear, no filthy chain, and space for a passenger. When Piaggio explained that the thing looked like a wasp, D'Ascanio took it as a compliment; 'There we are then, we'll call it just that.' The Vespa went into full production in August 1946, followed in short order by a competitor brand, the Lambretta. This, no less than a transport revolution, saw to it that by the early fifties Italy's bicycle factories, hitherto sole sponsors of the country's professional racing teams, found their sales, and by extension their fortunes, somewhat diminished.
Amongst the biggest casualties was Ganna. Fiorenzo Magni, triumphant at the 1951 Giro on a Ganna bike but searching now for new sponsorship, hit upon an idea. Why need the sponsors be the same hardcore band of bike and component manufacturers? Why not spread the net and invite non-cycling related businesses to patronise the sport? Nivea, a face cream manufacturer, needed no second invitation. Eager to bolster sales in Italy (and evidently failing to notice the irony implicit in their bankrolling gnarly, bald as a coot Magni), they stumped up. The French cycling federation predictably kicked off, insisting that Magni's perspicacity was in fact an outrageous act of heresy, the beginning of the end of the sport. They refused to invite him to their races, whereupon his mate Coppi, the biggest draw of them all, refused to cross the border without him. The French came over all truculent and declined to send a team to ride the Giro. In response the UVI, Italian cycling's governing body, refused to enter the Tour. We're not coming to your party, either, so there.
Stage one saw the Giro caravan make a long overdue return to Sicily for a 36km team time trial around Etna. Coppi's Bianchi utterly dominated proceedings as Koblet's Swiss team ceded the thick end of five minutes and with them, apparently, the Giro itself. At dinner that night Coppi, invincible on the bike and frivolous with love off it, treated himself to the local speciality, a generous seafood salad. Bad idea Fausto, very bad idea. The following day, an eight-hour marathon under a broiling Sicilian sun, he started to feel unwell, losing in excess of 12 minutes to a breakaway containing Magni, the new maglia rosa Minardi and two Swiss, the climber Schaer and Clerici.
Back on the mainland for stage four, the Giro re-invoked the golden age with an insane 352km, 11½ hour epic from Catanzaro to clay hot Bari. The stage, won by teak-tough little Angelo Conterno, provoked a wave of protest amongst the bar and shopkeepers of the Calabria and Puglia, the deepest of Italy's deep south. They were outraged that the riders, spitting feathers so scorched was the earth, so arid the day, had stolen more than their fair share of drinks. Giro tradition at the time dictated that the girini be allowed to help themselves to such sustenance, within reason, as they saw fit. Coca Cola, with its high caffeine and sugar content, was prized above all else, the amber nectar of the professional cyclist. For their part the proprietors would be glad of the prestige, grateful for the magic these extraordinary young men left, by way of exchange, in their wake. Race Director Torriani, incensed by what he perceived as a taking of liberties on the part of the riders, called a meeting, chastising his peloton for indulging themselves. They returned fire by inviting him, in no uncertain terms, to ride a bicycle at speed for 11½ hours in what amounted to a kiln. Touché. Thereafter a further vehicle was added to the Giro caravan. It would tag along behind the riders, stopping at the bars which they'd 'patronised' and paying the gleeful proprietor the (usually hugely inflated) tab.

Gulf Daily News
By RASHA AL QAHTANI
OVERCOMING traditional practices that restrict the role of Arab women in the human development process will be discussed by experts from across the region at a two-day forum in Bahrain.
The third annual Arab Forum on Human Development will be held by Bahrain Women's Society on November 22 at the Crowne Plaza.
More than 60 participants from civil societies, ministries, and other organisations are expected to attend the event, held under the theme Empowering Women is a Human Vision.
Prominent personalities from Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt and Syria will present papers on various topics.
Society president Dr Wajeeha Al Baharna said that most women are still following old traditions where they stay at home and look after their children and husbands.
"We want to see more women come up and manage both work and home life," she said.
"This will begin through awareness by showing women their true value to be more productive in life."
Dr Al Baharna said that she believes that the change will come by studying the problems and reasons behind women's lack of involvement in the human development process.
"Women will not get all their rights and participation in all fields unless a drastic change in values and culture takes place," she said.
"The current situation is a result of the deep alienation that the community lives in."
She said that the forum aims to shed light on the importance of showing woman's value and her role in achieving welfare and development.
"The forum will also highlight the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women and the principles of Islam," she said.
"We will also list wrong hereditary culture and social ideals which discriminate against women."
During the forum, experiences of countries taking part will be reviewed in open discussions and workshops. Participants will also discuss the means to implement the forum's recommendations to be issued at the end of the event.
The annual forum was first launched by the society in 2004 as a platform to discuss the United Nations Arab Human Development Report.
The aim of the first forum was to promote the role of individuals and organisations in preparing and implementing comprehensive human development programmes.
The second forum was held by the society in 2005 to promote personal freedom and discuss the United Nations Arab Human Development Report 2004: Towards Freedom in the Arab World.
This year's forum will discuss women's empowerment and the Arab Human Development Report 2005: Towards the Rise of Women in the Arab World.
An opening ceremony will be held at the Bahrain Cultural Hall from 7pm to 9pm on November 21 and the forum will take place from 9am to 5pm the following day at the Crowne Plaza.

The New Nameberry
Hey Everyone,
I figured I would start a thread in which we can let Pam & Linda know how much we love the new NB and what in particular we like. Also, a great place to point out technical issues we might be having due to the upgrade (which are to be expected) that could be universal so they don't get inundated with 1000 emails.
I love the new layout - super sexy and it loads better on my iphone and ipad. Awesome!!!
Also love the bonus blog idea and the SuperSearcher. love, love, love.
I am however having the issue (now that I am no longer being logged out every 5 seconds) that it looks like I have written every post. Which is amusing but makes it difficult to respond to people. (Avatars are still the same though - so I know who some of you are).

Lol, I just posted another thread about this, because I am having the same issue. It's rather unsettling to me. I hope they fix it too! Other than that, the new layout is going to take some getting used to, but I think it's a very fresh change from the old one.

Very much like this new NB! Will take getting used to though I love that you can now see every name in the database and I like that the US top names are on here which saves me trawling through Google. I'm sure the kinks will be ironed out soon, but it's looking good so far

Police around the country are reporting increasing incidents of a shocking crime at gas stations. Criminals called "sliders" are stealing purses and other valuables from cars as people pump gas. If you leave your purse, wallet or anything else in your car, thieves will sneak up from the other side, quietly open the other door, grab your stuff and go, without you even noticing.
This only takes seconds! Lock your passenger door, and don't leave valuables in plain sight!

Cheers to the Piedmont Natural Gas service team of Mark and Michael. Not only was Piedmont's customer service great over the phone, these guys did an incredibly focused job installing my new gas water heater, copper piping and new valves.

Jeers to whoever took down our flag made of cups on our fence. At our automotive shop on Cumberland Road, we put Dixie cups in our fence to make a flag. On Veteran's Day, we came in to work, and someone had knocked the cups out of the fence. They showed no respect for the flag, let alone our veterans or our property. Hopefully the next time we put the cups in the fence, they will show respect to the flag, veterans and private property.

Dell Adds Ubuntu Machines to Notebook Portfolio
Starting shortly, Dell will be supplying its Linux computers with Ubuntu 8.04.
This was the announcement made by Dell PR manager Anne Camden in her blog. Dell waited for the first point release (8.04.1) before making this move. Camden also mentions that there will be two new Linux notebooks as of August.
Camden quotes a blog entry by Daniel Judd, who is responsible for the product group, as the source of this information, according to which the XPS M1530 and the Studio 15 from the new Studio series will be available with Ubuntu 8.04 preinstalled as of the end of August. Dell will be revealing details at Linuxworld-Expo in San Francisco. The fair takes place August 4 through 8. Dell developers have added a language selector to 8.04 update which sees Dell's Ubuntu range extended to Canada, Mexico and Colombia. Users can now choose their preferred language at first boot.
Besides LinDVD for DVD output, a feature that is preinstalled on all Ubuntu notebooks, Dell wil be adding more goodies in future. The list includes MP3, WMA, and WMV file playback. According to the blog, Dell has also invested a fair amount of time in improving support for ATI graphics cards, fingerprint scanners, Dell WLAN devices, the HDMI port and Bluetooth on its Ubuntu notebooks.

Saying "there is no doubt who is responsible for this heinous use of chemical weapons attack in Syria: the Syrian regime," Vice President Joe Biden signaled Tuesday that the United States -- with its allies -- was ready to act.
"Those who use chemical weapons against defenseless men, women and children should and must be held accountable," Biden said in a speech to the American Legion.
The vice president's remarks echo those made by other U.S. officials in recent days, as well as many of the nation's foremost allies.
French President Francois Hollande said his administration was "ready to punish those who made the decision to gas these innocent people," adding that "everything leads us to believe" that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's forces are responsible.
British Prime Minister David Cameron -- who talked Tuesday with U.S. President Barack Obama -- called lawmakers back from their summer vacations to consider a response to Syria, as the UK military prepares contingency plans.
And U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel told the BBC on Tuesday that U.S. forces are "ready to go" if ordered to strike Syria by President Barack Obama.
"The options are there. The United States Department of Defense is ready to carry out those options," Hagel said.
Western leaders were reacting to a growing consensus that the Syrian regime was responsible for an August 21 attack that killed more than 1,300 people, most of them dying from exposure to toxic gases, according to rebel officials. The opposition -- which has said it's been targeted by chemical weapons attacks in the past as well -- backed up its latest allegations with gruesome video of rows of dead bodies, including women and children, with no visible wounds.
Syrian officials, though, have steadfastly denied using chemical weapons in this or other cases.
Foreign Minister Walid Moallem said Tuesday that his government would never use such munitions against its own people, daring those who disagree to present evidence publicly.
He said rebel forces were to blame for security concerns near the suspected chemical sites, arguing that Western leaders are using the claims as an excuse to go after al-Assad's regime.
"We all hear the drums of war," Moallem said. "They want to attack Syria. I believe to use chemical weapons as a pretext is not a right."
And if foreign powers do strike the Middle Eastern nation, its foreign minister said the government and its forces will fight back.
"Syria is not easy to swallow," said Moallem. "We have the materials to defend ourselves. We will surprise others."
U.N. inspectors in Syria, but what will they find?
The United Nations has sent inspectors to Syria to try to get to the bottom of the wildly conflicting accounts of chemical warfare.
The opposition says chemical payloads were among the ordnance fired into the rebel stronghold of Ghouta. The government, via state TV reports, claims that its forces came into contact with toxic gas Saturday in Jobar, on the edge of Damascus -- blaming this on "terrorists," the term it commonly uses for rebel fighters.
CNN could not independently confirm either account, including videos purported to show the aftermath of each.
On Monday, U.N. inspectors visited the town of Moadamiyet al-Sham, despite a close call with snipers that left one of their vehicles damaged and an explosion nearby.
The inspectors had been expected Tuesday to head to Ghouta, but that trip was pushed back a day "in order to improve preparedness and safety for the team."
Moallem blamed rebel forces for failing to guarantee the U.N. group's safety and denying that its forces have delayed inspections by continually shelling Ghouta.
Video posted Tuesday to YouTube purported to show the area being shelled, though CNN could not verify this video's authenticity.
Yet Biden reiterated the claim that Syrian forces were shelling the suspected chemical attack site. And U.S. State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said it may be too late for a valid inspection of what happened -- saying "too much time has passed" and accusing al-Assad's government of using the U.N. investigation "as a stalling tactic or a charade to hide behind."
The United States, meanwhile, is conducting its own investigation: An intelligence report detailing evidence of the alleged attack could be released as early as Tuesday, a U.S. official told CNN. The report will include forensic evidence and intercepted communications among Syrian military commanders, according to the official.
The vice president said that beyond whatever inspectors do or do not find, common sense and the recent past point to one culprit.

Comments On Nov 06, 2013:Tried this stuff after getting unsatisfactory results from Plexus. Brought out a great shine and even hid some of the scratches in the plastic, not to mention it smells great! Perhaps the only negative side is that it doesn't last long at all and requires reapplying after every wash.

Comments On Sep 11, 2013:If your quad isn't the prettiest and you know it, but you want to make it look new again without buying new plastics. This is the stuff. It's about as close as you can get to making it look new. I had a lot of fading and scratches on my back fender and this stuff shined it right up. You can still see the deep scratches if you get close. It seriously restores color. I didn't even realize there was sparkly finish in my quads paint till this stuff.

Comments On Sep 11, 2013:This stuff works like a dream! Makes worn old plastic look new again, keeps your graphics and wheels looking fresh. Also makes cleaning a breeze since mud doesn't like to stick to this stuff! A+ product. I probably use 5 cans a summer!

Rated 4 out of 5Â by christah nice casual shoe
Although I think the description of "fleece lining" is a bit generous the shoe is snuggy. It is lined with what I would call a wool felt. It is true to size if you wear these shoes barefoot. If you wish to wear a sock, I would order a size up.

$13,500 to Kill Sacred White Buffalo in Texas—Can This Be True?
American Indians across the internet are flocking to the website of Texas Hunt Lodge today—and not because they're planning a hunting trip. No, they're alarmed by a page on the site dedicated to the White Buffalo Hunt Package, which advertises a chance to kill a white buffalo for $13,500.
White buffaloes are sacred animals to the Lakota Sioux and other Native groups, and there aren't a lot of the creatures around. When one was born last year in Greenville, Texas, it was an occasion for much rejoicing. An article in the British newspaper Daily Mail extensively covered the naming ceremony of Lightning Medicine Cloud. That report said that "Lightning Medicine Cloud, whose name is also a tribute to a white buffalo born in 1933, named Big Medicine, is thought—in Lakota Sioux tradition—to be the third of its kind ever born."
It may be that not all white buffaloes are created equal, for there is a herd in Bend, Oregon, that contains 11 white buffaloes. Even so, it's safe to say there aren't a lot of them; an article on the herd from 2010 said that experts estimate that there are less than 50 white buffaloes in existence.
The sacredness of the white buffalo is linked to the story of White Buffalo Calf Woman, a Lakota prophet who brought the Lakota the Seven Sacred Rituals.
Understandably, this page at Texas Hunt Lodge has alarmed those who value white buffaloes. The text reads, in part:
Texas Hunt Lodge allows the opportunity to hunt and harvest the Authentic and Rare White Buffalo. ... There are no seasonal restrictions on hunting the White Buffalo, or White Bison, in Texas, which makes it a suitable trophy year round.
We typically let our hunters choose the method of hunting White Buffalo that they prefer. Hunters of White Buffalo can choose the Spot and Stalk method, Bow Hunting, Rifle Hunting, Black Powder, Safari Style Hunting, Handgun, as well as hunting from a Blind. We can accomodate hunters of any age and experience level, as well as hunters which have physical disabilities or may be confined to a wheelchair.
Our White Buffalo bulls weigh 1200 -1500lbs, and have horns in the 17-20 inch ranch...your white buffalo trophy will be a huge!
A page about Lightning Medicine Cloud on the website of Lakota Ranch speaks of the white buffalo not as a huge trophy, but a hugely significant part of Native culture. According to that page, esteemed Lakota spiritual leader John Lame Deer called the white buffalo "the most sacred living thing you could ever encounter." Oglala Sioux spiritual leader Floyd Looks for Buffalo Hand, a grandson of Red Cloud, is quoted as saying "The arrival of the white buffalo is like the second coming of Christ. ... It will bring about purity of mind, body, and spirit and unify all nations—black, red, yellow, and white."

I am trying to research my indian heritage when I come across this and was so applaud that I would lash out to whoever goes on this hunting trip. It just seems like the white man still wants to do whatever they feel like doing and we are not to say anything to them. I think that who ever goes on this hunt should be hunted like the white buffalo so they will know what it feels like be hunted down and killed

Nationally gaining on the MBA, the number of PSM programs exploded from 2008 to 2013, including new programs at large state institutions
WASHINGTON, Oct. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- When Kyle Mak- now a supply chain manager at biotech giant Amgen- was thinking about his career path, he took some advice from his brother, who cautioned him against incurring a lot of debt to get a PhD, which he might not even use. So, Mak, who had always been interested in science and who had earned an undergraduate degree in microbiology, decided to pursue a Professional Science Master's (PSM) degree.
"I only had a year of professional experience before I went back to get my PSM degree," Mak said, "so it was a great opportunity for me to continue developing my professional skills and get a better understanding of the biotechnology industry."
Established in 1997 with funding from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, PSM degrees provide training in areas such as management, marketing, communications, regulatory affairs, intellectual property and business ethics with an emphasis on experiential learning components such as internships and capstone projects guided by industry advisors.
In fact, Mak is part of growing trend of students with an interest in science and business who are opting to pursue the two-year PSM degree. In just 15 years, the PSM has rapidly expanded to 300 programs at 127 institutions, integrating business skills with advanced scientific training to meet the demands of a high-tech workforce.
Recently, the Sustainable Energy Systems program at State University of New York at Cortland became the 300th affiliated PSM program. This milestone will be celebrated at the National Professional Science Master's Association (NPSMA) conference on Tuesday, November 12 from 2 to 4 p.m. at The Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.
"It was very exciting to find out we were the 300th PSM. The PSM idea is one of the more unique ideas to come to graduate education in the last couple of decades and to be the 300th program in such a short time really shows how fast the PSM concept is expanding and how important it is to graduate education and to economic development," said Dr. Brice Smith, associate professor & chair, physics - SUNY Cortland.
PSM graduates represent the next generation of STEM leaders who are able to translate research into commercialization, according to Michael Teitelbaum, senior advisor to the Sloan Foundation. "This milestone is an indication that this effort developed strategically with a lot of enthusiasm from various stakeholders," he said, citing support from academia, private industry, the nonprofit sector and government. (In 2007, Congress passed the American COMPETES Act, providing additional grants through the National Science Foundation to create or expand PSM programs.)
Such interdisciplinary training keeps the U.S. globally competitive. Nearly 6,000 students were enrolled in PSM programs in the fall of 2012, with most of them attending U.S.-based institutions, according to a survey conducted by the Council of Graduate Schools last year.
A comprehensive PSM program list and resources are available at www.sciencemasters.com.
