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!
generally, what i have found is that science is pretty similar in the three countries i’ve lived in, which is great, because it means that i could take the skills i learned in Australia and use them in both France and America. There’s definitely a few things about science that are different, but mostly it’s about the way that the labs and teams work, and the science stays pretty similar! For example, i have done the exact same experiment in three countries, using the exact same machine, but on different samples.
That’s one of the things i love about science. That you can travel a lot, and that you can do it anywhere!

The science is mostly the same, but the labs are all run differently based on the different personalities and experiences of the researchers. I worked in a lab that got its funding from the US Army….it was VERY regimented and safety was extreme. I’ve never been a lab since that was quite that much into rules and regulations!
But the science is the same. The whole idea of experiments is that someone else can do the same things that you did and get the same results. It’s called reproducibility, and it’s a pretty important part of what we do!
