Live chats start on Monday!

There are already lots of questions queued up for the scientists to answer in ‘Ask’  but the real fun begins on Monday when the live chats start. The scientists have been very busy filling out their profiles and we can’t wait to hear the students’ questions – hope the scientists are up for the challenge!

Check this out…

• Glyn in Technetium Zone has uploaded some cool pictures of his research studying dangerous bacteria and tells us all about his work in the greenhouse and the lab, and he’s not the only keen scientist in Technetium…
• …as there’s fighting talk from seafood-loving fisheries officer Debbie who tweeted: “Our zone is definitely going to be the best! we have the best schools as well”
• Grant in Food Zone (a.k.a. Doctor Bubbles) wins best profile joke – What do you get if you divide the circumference of a pumpkin by the diameter of a pumpkin? Pumpkin Pi!

And don’t forget to take a look at all of our other scientists’ profiles in the different zones under the ‘Pick a Zone…’ section here.

Ready and raring to go

Yesterday lots of scientists came to our staff room drop-in session to see how the chats will work, and teachers have been getting their live chats booked in fast.

It’s going to be a very busy and exciting two weeks – can’t wait to see you all there!

Here’s a sneak peak of one of the first questions answered in the Brain Zone… What is the latest fashion in lab coats?
