Health-related content appearing in online journal articles, web pages, forum posts, or other areas of the NSTA website is intended for information only and is not intended to be a substitute for individual medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Everyone’s health needs are different, and you should always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health care professional regarding questions or treatment of a medical condition.
Any comments or materials sent to NSTA, including feedback data, such as questions, comments, suggestions, or the like regarding the content of any such documents (collectively “Feedback”), shall be deemed to be nonconfidential.

NSTA makes no representations whatsoever about any other website which you may access through this one. When you access a non-NSTA website, please understand that it is independent from NSTA, and that NSTA has no control over the availability of or content on that website (see the note below). In addition, a link to a non-NSTA website does not mean that NSTA endorses or accepts any responsibility for the content, or the use, of such website. It is up to you to take precautions to ensure that whatever you select for your use is free of such items as viruses, worms, trojan horses, and other items of a destructive nature. IN NO EVENT WILL NSTA BE LIABLE TO ANY PARTY OR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR OTHER CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES FOR ANY USE OF THIS WEBSITE, OR ON ANY OTHER HYPERLINKED WEBSITE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF PROGRAMS OR OTHER DATA ON YOUR INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF WE ARE EXPRESSLY ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
This website contains information about programs, products, and services offered by third parties, as well as links to third-party websites. The presence of a listing or such information does not constitute an endorsement by NSTA of a particular company or organization, or its programs, products, or services.
Note: Legitimate websites (or Internet “domains”) sometimes change ownership. When this happens, the content may change drastically, so that a site offering biology lesson plans for middle school teachers may become a site devoted to the human anatomy in its most natural state. A good link can turn into a bad one overnight. NSTA is aware of no tool for detecting this automatically. We manually check our links to outside web pages to the best of our ability and remove those that are no longer appropriate. If you find a link on this website to a page that is crude or offensive, please report it to the NSTA Web Director—include [1] the URL (“web address”) of the offending site and [2] the URL of the NSTA page containing the link to that site.
