- WWW Virtual Library: Biosciences Research Centers - Biosciences is a classified list by subdiscipline of links to web resources in the biological sciences. Some of the links are general (e.g., immunology) while others are quite specific (e.g., whale watching). "General Interest" sites include animal health, well-being, and rights; electronic journals; history of science, technology, and medicine; and publishers.
