Welcome to SciStarter!

Thank you for joining SciStarter, where science meets people with purpose.

Meet us at the National Science Teachers Association's conference in San Antonio! On April 11, 2-3 pm, we'll join the Science Cheerleaders and researchers from UCDavis to kick off Project MERCCURI, a new citizen science project to compare microbes on Earth to those on the International Space Station.

Then, on April 12, the Project MERCCURI team invites YOU to join us at the NBA San Antonio Spurs game to collect microbes from the court, the game ball and from mobile communication devices! Email Darlene@SciStarter.com for more information. Special thanks to the NBA and the Spurs!

We want to learn more about you and how we can be of better service to you. Complete this brief survey for a chance to win a $50 Amazon gift card!
