BioBus program

Connecticut's BioBus is an educational program that was developed to motivate and educate students in bioscience through hands on, interactive and fun demonstrations. Exploria has sponsored Connecticut's BioBus program by designing, producing, and donating two computer animations to introduce the concepts for "Mystery of the Crooked Cell" about the genetic basis of sickle cell anemia and "A Twist of Lyme" about the assays used to test for Lyme disease.
