What are NSDL Pathways?\nPathways are large projects that are aggregators and stewards of resources and services to broad categories of users---either discipline-focused (e.g. chemistry), or audience-focused (e.g. middle school educators), or resources of a specific type or format (e.g. multimedia content). They are digital library portals developed and managed in partnership with organizations and institutions that have a history and expertise in serving their portal's target audiences. They contribute metadata (descriptive information) about their resources to NSDL to make their resources searchable and discoverable via the NSDL.org portal, in addition to their own portals."

The mission of Understanding Science is to provide a fun, accessible, and free resource that accurately communicates what science is and how it really works. The process of science is exciting, but standard explanations often miss its dynamic nature. Science affects us all everyday, but people often feel cut off from science. Science is an intensely human endeavor, but many portrayals gloss over the passion, curiosity, and even rivalries and pitfalls that characterize all human ventures. Understanding Science gives users an inside look at the general principles, methods, and motivations that underlie all of science
