What do professors say?
Dr. Manuel Diaz-Rios
Professor of Neurosband and Biology at Bowdon College Brunswick (ME)
"The greatest strength of the BYB lab kits is the DIY components and the fact that students have so many potential options for reacting their own experiments (open-ended science). So, I can have students first use themselves or others an experiments subjects to test the BYB lab kits with leads to discussion of the biological processes being activated/accessed. Then, I can help them come up with potential experiments to test/apply this knowledge."
