A blue infographic gives a step by step guide on how to Skype a scientist. The steps are: 1) sign up on skypeascientist.com 2) pick a category of science your group would like to talk about (e.g. marine biology, chemistry, astronomy) 3) get a match via email 4) connect with your scientist, discuss your ur group’s needs and pick a time to chat 5) talk to your scientist!

Hi! We're Skype a Scientist! We're a free program that matches scientists with classrooms, scout troops, libraries, & other groups for Q&As all about science.

Get matched with a scientist for a virtual conversation! We have 30+ types of scientist & match weekly.

Dispersal Limitation Governs Bacterial Community Assembly in the Northern Pitcher Plant (Sarracenia purpurea) at the Continental Scale Aim Ecological theory suggests that dispersal limitation and selection by climatic factors influence bacterial community assembly at a continental scale, yet the conditions governing the relative im.....

Check out another new paper from the lab in GEB, where we examined microbes within the pitcher plant system and uncovered unique ecological processes governing the community assembly of distinct microbial guilds.
