The Cell Motion BioBus is a mobile science laboratory. Our students explore the world around them with research-grade microscopes, and make their own discoveries under the guidance of professional scientists
The BioBus brought physics, biology, and green technology to this years World Science Festival Street Fair
Mr. Colbert is very interesting, especially at the cellular level.
A wonderful article in Scientific American documents the work the BioBus is doing to bridge the science education gap.
BioBus wins grant to build laser tweezers to poke and prod cells under the microscope. Join us Monday, Feb 8th in the East Village for the Awesome Foundation award ceremony and to see the BioBus.
Listen to Virginia Prescott interview Dr. Ben on New Hampshire Public Radio.
Check out this new, wonderful article about the BioBus in The Scientist magazine.
Channel 1, a high school news network reaching millions of students and their teachers, checks out the BioBus.
"For driving an interest in science and magnifying how fun it can be, Ben Dubin-Thaler is the latest New Yorker of the Week," says NY1 News
Ixe, a budding scientist that found the BioBus at Earth Fair at Grand Central Station, was able to see some bugs up close and personal using research-grade microscopes on the BioBus.
Fluorescence dyes and markers make normally transparent cell structures like DNA and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) glow. Fluorescent microscopes on the BioBus excite the dyes with bright, pure colored light, shown here.
The BioBus and Solar One have a strong partnership, bringing together our mutual love for green energy and science! This photo was taken at CitySol 2009.
Students love to spend time on the BioBus, using the microscopes and learning about scientist with Dr. Ben and our other Visiting Scientists.
This is a picture of a mosquito larva taken at about 30x magnification on the BioBus. While we know mosquitos as blood sucking pests, their larvae live in water and feed on single-celled organisms like bacteria and algae, and are an important source of food for fish.
