TWAS is endorsing a new project designed to promote science to school children and students. The website, www.molecularfrontiers.org, is designed to act as a forum at which international experts (including several TWAS members) discuss their ideas of where science is heading – thus providing advice to students wishing to study in up-and-coming areas of science.

A parallel project, www.MoleClues.org, is designed to appeal to teenagers, who are asked to develop their inquisitive natures by posing scientific questions. The best questions win annual prizes, but all schoolchildren submitting questions are mentored by young scientists, who help them track down the answers to their questions.
