Rob and Melani Walton Sustainability Solutions Inititatives
As Rob and Melani Walton worked with Arizona State University President Crow and the leadership of the Global Institute of Sustainability over several years, they developed an ambitious shared vision: harness the knowledge within the University to deliver solutions for the complex challenges of sustainability.

Institute of Human Origins
The Institute of Human Origins at Arizona State University is one of the leading research organization in the United States devoted to the science of human origins. Embedded within ASU’s School of Human Evolution and Social Change, IHO pursues a transdisciplinary strategy for field and analytical paleoanthropological research central to its 30-year-old founding mission—integrating social, earth, and life science approaches to the most important questions concerning the course, timing, and causes of human evolutionary change over deep time. IHO links to its research activities innovative public outreach programs that create timely, accurate information for education and lay communities.

Science Friday
Science Friday is a weekly science talk show, broadcast live over public radio stations nationwide from 2-4pm Eastern time as part of NPR's 'Talk of the Nation' programming. Each week, we focus on science topics that are in the news and try to bring an educated, balanced discussion to bear on the scientific issues at hand. Panels of expert guests join Science Friday's host, Ira Flatow, a veteran science journalist, to discuss science - and to take questions from listeners during the call-in portion of the program.

Joan Strassmann's Sociobiology blog
Science it so much fun, it’s hard to imagine wanting another career. Why do some find it intimidating? Why do some find it mysterious? What can we do to help? Maybe a little openness on the process will help. Read this blog regularly and you will get an inside look at the joy of science.

the science network
The mission of The Science Network (TSN) is to build an online science and society agora, or public square, dedicated to the discussion of issues at the intersection of science and social policy. By engaging a diverse community of concerned constituencies in conversation, on and offline through signature meetings, video programming, and in developing partnerships with public television stations, TSN is creating a scientific no-spin zone - a trusted destination free from the tyranny of the sound bite.
