GeekMom Editor Talks Ticks and Triops with The Times

GeekMom editor Kathy Ceceri and sons talking tech in the New York Times

GeekMom Editor Kathy Ceceri recently shared some of her “home laboratory” adventures with a visiting reporter from the New York Times. The article, Home Labs on the Rise for the Fun of Science, goes on to discuss USB microscopes, DNA extraction kits and infrared thermometers in greater detail, saying that they are just some of the gadgets families are using and owning as home laboratories become affordable.

How about you: Do you have a lab in your home? How simple or elaborate is your family’s set-up? What pieces of equipment do you use? Do you have a favorite activity or experiment that you’d like to share?
