BioBus helps K-12 and college students in New York City discover, explore, and pursue science. We focus on students excluded from the scientific community due to factors such as race, gender, economic status, and physical access. Through this work, we envision a world where all people have the opportunity to reach their full scientific potential. We’ve reached 300,000 students at more than 800 schools since 2008, primarily in NYC public and charter schools and as far away as Boston, California, and even Egypt and Jordan. BioBus students connect with scientists from diverse backgrounds, learn lab and research skills, practice science communication, and take steps to become the next generation of scientists and problem-solvers, making the world better for all of us. Our students access and become part of the scientific community through introductory science labs aboard our mobile labs at their schools; after school, weekend, and summer programs; and year-long internships. We offer programs city-wide with a focus on Harlem, the South Bronx, and the Lower East Side.

I'm so excited to be a Science Communication Fellow with Ocean Exploration Trust this year. Right now we're in Palau for the last expedition of the season. Tune in live at nautiluslive.org or schedule a live ship-to-shore interaction to learn more about our adventure!
🌊⛴🔬 Alice Chou, the Lead Community Scientist on our New England team, is setting sail with Nautilus Live! As a 2024 Science Communication Fellow, Alice is surveying the oceanography and current flow around the Palauan Islands, and how this affects both near and offshore ecosystems, including those within the Palau National Marine Sanctuary. Alice says, “The ship is a particularly powerful example of a mobile laboratory, one that illustrates to students that science can be done anytime and anywhere– even in the most remote of places.” You can keep up with Alice and other educators aboard the ship at nautiluslive.org, a 24-hour livestream bringing expeditions from the field to explorers on shore. Plus, schools and community groups can schedule free, live one-on-one Q&A sessions with explorers on the ship! Visit https://lnkd.in/eDcZgxzn to request a program.

A lot of us have very serious questions about what the future of education in America will look like in the next four years. If you find yourself searching for ways to be a part of positive scientific change and solutions, BioBus is with you. BioBus began with a commitment to a vision for the future in which everyone is able to reach their full scientific potential, and we have been changing the world for fifteen years now - one mobile lab visit, one young scientist at a time. At BioBus, we work with our students to examine the scientific evidence and do the research, and we stand firm together and say: 🌎 Climate change is real and driven by fossil fuel emissions. 💉 Vaccines are safe and effective, and save millions of lives every year. 💧 Clean water and clean air are necessary for our communities to thrive. 🔬 Science is an essential, invaluable tool for tackling our communities’ most pressing issues. We know that over the next four years, the communities we partner with are going to need us more than ever. We will rise to meet that need, and today, we ask you to stand with us in doing so. Please, consider making a gift to BioBus today to join our commitment to show up and stand up for a more scientific future for everyone. https://lnkd.in/dUP96STy
