Astronaut Health: Science Education Resources for K-12 and Beyond

Librarians can support science educators and students by fostering science and health literacy programs. This presentation from the NNLM will introduce librarians to science education resources from the National Library of Medicine (NLM), the NIH, and NASA. The resources pertain to these subjects: K-12 science education focusing on anatomy and genetics in relation to astronauts, and health science careers. Communities of Practice and organizations that assist libraries with integrating STEM programming will be highlighted. The overall goal of this course is to help librarians find STEM resources to engage meaningfully with the science education community.
