We are going to space!
SciStarter has a research project headed to the International Space Station (ISS) via Space X in December 2013! As winners of the (ISS) Research Competition, we will be comparing growth rates of microbes collected on Earth (by the SciStarter community and our partners) to those collected on high touch surfaces on the ISS. We'll also contribute to a world population map of microbiomes. This research proposal, in collaboration with Science Cheerleader and UCDavis, was selected by Space Florida.
We are looking for people to lead and manage various components of the program. Check out the list of opportunities to get involved on the SciStarter Blog.
