HHMI: Seeing, Hearing, and Smelling the World
About this site: Our senses are our windows on the world, but how do they work? This site by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute explores the latest research on how we see, hear, smell, and taste. Sprinkled among the articles are some insightful gems, like why you can't see colors by moonlight and why women who live together "cycle" in sync. (http://www.hhmi.org/senses/)  Pluses: The scientific words in the stories link to clear, short glossary explanations.  Minuses: No interactive tools, though you can e-mail your feedback.  Best feature: Animated images help explain optical illusions and add some fun to the site. |
