BioBus First Open Bus
Welcome!

Thank you for visiting. The BioBus is a converted transit bus equipped with digital microscopes, a cell culture lab, and a computer cluster. The bus travels to schools, community centers, and museums, where students collect live cells from their environment, make movies of the cells crawling, and then analyze these movies on the computer. Activities emphasize the joy of discovery and foster scientific creativity by building on students' own hypotheses.

Please explore our website, and feel free to contact Dr. Ben Dubin-Thaler for more information, or sign up on our low-volume e-mail newsletter:

BioBus Back from Mid-West Tour
The BioBus returned last week from our Fall Mid-West tour. Over 600 students at Leal Elementary and St. Joe's Middle School explored the meaning of life by looking through the microscope, while the Girls Do Science Club at the Orpheum Children's science center prepared and looked at water samples from their back yards, taking lots of great pictures and making a wonderful movie of a crawling amoeba (movie on right). Check out the BioBus News Blog for more information and a link to a nice article in the Urbana News-Gazette.

Spring Semester Completed
Thanks to all the students, teachers and volunteers who made the Spring semester a thrilling success! Since February 2008, over three hundred students of every age climbed aboard and explored the microscopic world on the BioBus. Dr. Ben spent the summer in Barcelona learning how to look at fruit flies under the microscope, and the BioBus will be back in schools in September with a fresh paint job and new experiments! Email ben@biobus.org to schedule a visit to your school or community.


Kids Day
March 8th was an especially fun day on the BioBus! About a dozen kids from ages 2-10 got on the bus, learned about cells, made some great drawings, and got to use a microscope. We looked at cheek cells, fish cells, hair, and even some snot cells! Check out more pictures and movies from the day. 		Rubu Kids Day
