2.) I've already posted about Worldometers on the Blackboard site, but this is worth posting. Every month the site chooses something new to do statistical research on. You can find the data here:

Statistics of the Month

Here is a link to the main page (which gives real-time updates on world statistics about births, deaths, clean drinking water, suicides, etc.):

3.) ScienceRoll is a blog run by Bertalan Meskó. He is work on a Ph.D. in genomics. Bertalan takes the global issues of medicine, genetics, and the human genome project and makes information about them available for those of us not working towards a Ph.D. in gene study.

4.) Two links with similar goals- Fundacion Alas and Fundacion Pies Descalzos are both interested in making life better for children in Latin America (PD focuses on Colombia primarily, but they have done things in other countries). PD mainly focuses on education; Alas focuses on education, health care, and nutrition ("early childhood development").
