Science File would like to thank:

Chris "Bikerman" Snowdon for his enthusiasm for the project and his hard work under difficult circumstances

The members of The Science Forums for their support and contributions - thanks a million guys!

Various software companies and individuals, too numerous to mention, who provided me with the tools and support to build the site: but specifically, and most importantly, a million thanks to the authors of Joomla! plus the authors of the software extensions used in the site.

The Open Source software movement, without whom this site could never have happened.

The online Intute database for providing many of the websites in the Web Directory.

...and anyone else who has directly or indirectly contributed to the existence of this site. You have my heartfelt thanks.

I dedicate Science File to my late father, Alan Geoffrey Briggs (1926-2003), who nurtured and encouraged my love of science in general, and astronomy in particular, from when I was four years old. It is the greatest gift anybody could ever have received, and I am privileged to have been his son.
