DAY 1: Lego and milk

And so it begins…

I’m a Scientist June 2013 has got off to a busy start. Across all zones we’ve had around 30 live chats, a few thousand questions asked outside of the chats, and there are now 3,300 students registered!

Today’s highlights in the Hormones Zone:

  • Keith explains how he uses lego in his research:

ginge0407 : @kieth how does the lego come into play?

keithsiew : oh the lego

keithsiew : well I used it to build a stage that held a laser beam that I could move up and down to shine on the specimen… so I could get my images at different depths

keithsiew : and used lego to build a stage that could be rotated so when I had specimens in a gel rod I could see them in 360 degrees

shadowdude64 : @keithsiew so why lego? I’m sure you have an engineer who could build one thast would be better to use during your experiments

keithsiew : well lego is cheap, reliable, precise and easily available

shadowdude64 : oh right, that makes a lot of sense, thank you

  •  And the most nutritious milk:

What is more nutritious, human breast milk or cow milk?
