Various ways to rate a college
There are a bunch of college ratings out there to help students decide what college to apply to (and give something for alumni to gloat about). The tough part is that there doesn't seem to be any agreement on what makes a good college. Alex Richards and Ron Coddington describe the discrepancies. Notice how few measures are shared by two or more raters. That indicates a lack of agreement among them on what defines quality.
JCVI CMR
The Comprehensive Microbial Resource (CMR) is a free tool that allows researchers to access all of the publicly available bacterial genome sequences completed to date. For each genome not sequenced at JCVI, two kinds of annotation are displayed: the Primary annotation taken from the genome sequencing center and the JCVI annotation generated by an automated annotation process at JCVI. In addition to the convenience of having all of the organisms on a single website, common data types across all genomes in the CMR make searches more meaningful and highlight differences and similarities among the genomes.

Jean Rouch, l'ethnologue-cinéaste De sa rencontre avec l’Afrique, en 1941, à son dernier voyage au Niger, en 2004, en passant par son entrée au CNRS à la fin des années 1940, le parcours de Jean Rouch continue d’intriguer, de passionner, d’influencer, de susciter des vocations. Il filmait les rites de possession sans pouvoir les comprendre tout à fait, il brisait des interdits et des tabous, tant techniques que sociaux, il cherchait à faire comprendre ce qu’il voyait.
Cambridge Structural Database (CSD)
Comprehensive of the published literature and highly curated, the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) is an essential resource to scientists around the world Established in 1965, the CSD is the world’s repository for small-molecule organic and metal-organic crystal structures. Containing the results of over half-a-million x-ray and neutron diffraction analyses this unique database of accurate 3D structures has become an essential resource to scientists around the world.

Fire and Water on a Hot, Turbulent Planet - Dot Earth Blog
The Earth Observatory Web site of NASA is a vital portal, not only providing data that help scientists clarify global conditions and trends but also reminding people, once in awhile, of the special nature of this pale blue (and green) dot. Today’s images show the scope of two unfolding disasters — involving excessive fire and water — related to extreme climate conditions that are projected to become more frequent in a heating world. The fires sweeping parched, baked peat bogs and forests in western Russia have raised a vast smoke pall captured by NASA satellites.

Images of life on Earth
Wildscreen's Arkive project was launched in 2003 and grew to become the world's biggest encyclopaedia of life on Earth. With the help of over 7,000 of the world’s best wildlife filmmakers and photographers, conservationists and scientists, Arkive.org featured multi-media fact-files for more than 16,000 endangered species. Freely accessible to everyone, over half a million people every month, from over 200 countries, used Arkive to learn and discover the wonders of the natural world. Since 2013 Wildscreen was unable to raise sufficient funds from trusts, foundations, corporates and individual donors to support the year-round costs of keeping Arkive online. Therefore, the charity had been using its reserves to keep the project online and was unable to fund any dedicated staff to maintain Arkive, let alone future-proof it, for over half a decade. Despite appeals for support, just 85 of our 5.6 million users in 2018 made a donation.
