I’m a Scientist is like school science lessons meet the X Factor! School students choose which scientist gets a prize of $1000 to communicate their work.
Scientists and students talk on this website. They both break down barriers, have fun and learn. But only the students get to vote.
This zone is the Disease Zone. It has scientists studying the causes and processes of illness . Who gets the prize? YOU decide!
The food mice get has a bit of sugar, some fat, some protein and of course all the vitamins and minerals they need! The normal mouse food we give them is called chow. It’s like really hard pellets mice can nibble on which contains everything they need. We make our own high fat diets by mixing flour, sugar, grains, protein powder, mineral and vitamin powder with some oil (safflower oil) and 2 packs of melted lard! We mix it and it looks like cookie dough, the mice love it!
With the high fat diet, because it resembles cookie dough and we mix it up ourselves, it’s very easy to mix in a drug if you can crush the pills to a fine powder and mix it in!
