I like this. "With a refreshing measure of ingenuity, Ben Dubin-Thaler is proving that some of the most exciting lessons in science can occur outside the classroom - in a bus." The whole point of online learning isn't to tie people to computers - it's to free them from classrooms. "I grew up loving science and looking through microscopes," says Ben, the biophysicist who founded and directs the non-profit Cell Motion Laboratories
which operates BioBus. "And now BioBus is just my way to bring the excitement I
felt as a kid to science students across New York City and the country." See more about scientists in the community here.
