Comments on: Maps of Science. http://www.neatorama.com/2007/03/20/maps-of-science/ The Neat Side of the Web Wed, 25 Nov 2009 14:43:25 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Dan Bassill http://www.neatorama.com/2007/03/20/maps-of-science/comment-page-1/#comment-91227 Dan Bassill Mon, 26 Mar 2007 00:00:07 +0000 http://www.neatorama.com/2007/03/20/maps-of-science/#comment-91227 Thanks for sharing this work. I lead a non profit based in Chicago and use maps to show where poverty and poorly performing schools are most concentrated, and where existing non-school tutor/mentor programs are located. My goal is that the maps draw more distributed resources to all of the neighborhoods with high poverty, resulting in more comprehensive programs for youth in these areas. You can see samples in the Program Locator at http://www.tutormentorconnection.org Do you know of anyone who is duplicating the map of science project, by mapping the research that's been created about poverty, racism, and education deficits in America? Such an aggregation of information might help us connect more people from beyond poverty with kids and tutor/mentor programs in poverty areas. Our maps are created by volunteers, so if our project is of interest to any of your network, we'd like to have your help. Dan Bassill Tutor/Mentor Connection Chicago Thanks for sharing this work.

I just thought I'd post the exhibit webpage and let everyone know there are more cool maps like this one. www.scimaps.org I'm the graphic designer for the Places & Spaces exhibit, of which this map is a part of.
