I’m a Scientist is like school science lessons meet the X Factor! School students choose which scientist gets a prize of $1000 to communicate their work.
Scientists and students talk on this website. They both break down barriers, have fun and learn. But only the students get to vote.
This zone is the Organs Zone. It has scientists studying health and disease in various parts of our bodies. Who gets the prize? YOU decide!
Hi jjbear and meemee- thanks for the interesting question!
The tissue can still ‘wiggle’ as it is kept alive in a bath containing a mixture of salts and water (to create a solution similar to that inside your body) after we have removed the intestine from the animal. The intestine is kept at the same temperature as it was in the body and has oxygen delivered to it to keep the conditions as similar as what would be inside the animal.
