Dr. Jeff's Blog on the Universe
This blog is for anyone who gets joy from learning and aspires to know. To visit this space, you just need to be open to the possibility that science, the majesty of the universe, and the nature of our home world—Earth—can be presented in an exciting new light.
Blog on the Universe was originally designed to help teachers of science and math—and parents—make science an adventure. But its broader appeal is obvious. If you’re human—and you’re willing to connect with the innate curiosity within you—this blog’s for you.
The mission of the Koshland Science Museum website is to engage the public in current scientific issues impacting our lives.
- The Infectious Disease online exhibit has information on emerging diseases, disease prevention and treatment. Visitors get an in-depth view of the viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites that surround us, the deadly diseases they can cause, and the scientific challenges involved in targeting them. See http://www.koshland-science-museum.org/exhib_infectious/
- The Antiretroviral video explores the HIV life cycle and the points in the life cycle that can be affected by antiretroviral drugs. See http://www.koshland-science-museum.org/exhib_infectious/hiv_antivirals_01.jsp
- The Global Warming and Climate Change online exhibit contains current facts about climate change, including potential causes and the possible future effects of global warming. Visitors discover what these changes will likely mean and learn what actions could reduce the negative effects of global warming. See http://www.koshland-science-museum.org/exhibitgcc

Center for Professional Studies
The Center for Professional Studies (CPS) has offered professional development to working professionals for over a decade, collaborating with school districts, businesses and other professional groups on continuing educational needs. Fitchburg State College believes that excellence in education practice must be supported beyond the conferring of degrees or professional licensure. As such, the CPS is a key element of the college's total strategy, providing educational opportunities to working professionals during the critical years of induction into their profession and throughout their career.
To help address this goal, the CPS offers an extensive array of high-quality professional development opportunities for educators, business people, healthcare and other working professionals. The activities of the Center include graduate courses, workshops and conferences, as well as collaboration with agencies and work force groups to provide consulting and to develop custom programs as needed.
