About Virtual Science Bookshelf
Anyone from across the globe can help our organization spread science awareness through adding content relevant to STEM disciplines. Uploading content would be to access our website internally and add you’re favorite books, films, magazines, web videos, television shows, news, art, links, podcasts, and quotes to our site.Check out our bookshelf to see where your work would be reflected http://www.informedbynature.org/learn
Expand your mind. Our catalogue of science books, videos, quotes, art and other media makes learning fun—whether you're a science novice, a field scientist, or just plain curious. Browse, discover, and learn!
