InSciEd Out

The InSciEd Out Team and our scientist volunteers had a great time working with the Girl Scouts of Stewartville MN as they explored scientific careers and learned about zebrafish this month.

From dream to product- The new InSciEdRS View microscope set is officially a thing. Thanks to Area10 Labs and Mindtech for making it a reality! Yes they are for sale! Info to follow.

From Science magazine's coverage of the March for Science:

"Outside the entrance to the march, a crew from the science education program InSciEd Out, based in Rochester, Minnesota, prepared for the day, reports Kelly Servick. They came attired in zebrafish hats.

"We knew that the brain hat was a very high potential" among marchers, says Chris Pierret, a biologist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, but his group commissioned crocheted zebrafish hats, honoring one of their favorite disease research models."
