Neutrophils defend our bodies against attacks from bacteria and other foreign invaders and are a crucial first line of our immune system. Stephen’s neutrophil is seen here crawling around, looking for something to munch on. Thanks for donating the cells, Stephen, and sorry we couldn’t really immortalize them!  Read more in Dr. Ben’s blog on The BioBus Daily News.

Of course, the BioBus spends most of its time bringing hands-on science education to low-income school students. You can support our efforts by volunteering your time or donating your money. Every cent donated goes to bringing hands-on science education to the students who need it most. Check out the rest of the site to see more about how your support will help the BioBus help students reach their full science potential. And check out the BioBus blog for pictures of Colbert aboard the BioBus and the full TV segment.
