Mobile Laboratories Said To Attract Students To STEM Fields.
USA Today (6/9, Unze) reports, "Carl Franzblau, professor and chairman of the Department of Biochemistry at Boston University Medical School, wanted to expose more young people to science. Then, he says, he had a vision, inspired by a bloodmobile. The result - mobile science laboratories that bring science education to students - is expanding across the USA." There are 13 labs operating in 10 states and Franzblau says they are "an important tool in attracting young people to the so-called STEM courses." They "are buses or semis outfitted with the basics of science education: electricity, distilled water, freezers and refrigerators, scales, microscopes and even computer systems in some cases."
