Abstract

The BioBus mobile science lab has helped unlock the scientific potential of thousands of low-income students and their teachers by giving them the chance to hunt for and record movies of amoebae using research microscopes with research scientists. This extended abstract summarizes an invited presentation delivered at PhysNet 2015.
