Skype Author Visits

I recently emailed you a link to a site that facilitates online meet-ups with authors.

Here is a blog post about a successful experience with this site. It'd be great if we could try this at RVIS.

Bug Scope

This one looks exciting for anyone studying insects. You find some bugs, send the to the US, and they set up a time for you to interact with their scientists on a high powered microscope. The project is meant to be world wide, but so far it's almost exclusively US schools...I imagine they'd be excited to share some Bahrain bugs.
