SPORE

Someone emailed me recently to suggest I apply for this award from Science mag and I'm going to do it this year (last year I forgot).

What do you think?

Go for it! I am full of gratitude for your amazing explanation of the very complex topic of biochemistry.
The "lessons" on each topic are like a Pixar movie, there is something to learn/enjoy for every age - elementary school age kids (where I actually found out about this site) to professionals like me (I am an MD)
thank you sincerely

Do it! I just found your site today and I think it is amazing, I can't believe all of the valuable information. I am definitely going to use it in my biology class.

Thanks!

I am not commenting on Spore, but I would like to comment on your site in general. AMAZING! I have posted your site to my blog several times, including another post today (scienceandtechnologylady.blogspot.com).

I have also frequently used your site to showcase free animations and interactives that work beautifully with SMART Boards. I am a SMART Board trainer specializing in science education, and whenever I bring up your site on the board, the teachers whip out their pens and ask, "What's that URL again????".

Thank you! Thank you!

Absolutely! What you have done is absolutely fantastic. I only wish I had found this many years ago when going to college and grad school. I hope your wonderful work can be formally recognized with the award, but do know that there are thousands of people like me who appreciate it!

I found your site today as well. It is amazing and will defiantly use it once I am a fully trained science teacher. I wish I had it as a student at school because they are such abstract ideas to understand. Your animations describe these concepts so wonderfully. I hope you continue to make more of these wonderful learning resources.

Your work is great. Can I suggest on a simpler scale for evolution doubters if you could show how genomes of organisms are packed with evolutionary history. Show us evolution idiots what selection, gene drift. etc. is.

I have just found your website and I think is invaluable. I was wondering if it is possible to post your URL in an educational platform for teachers to see and use?
Please advise and congratulations one more time. Thank you very much!!!!
