February Discount: Get the High School Edition for a young scientist!

After many requests, we made a “High School Edition” for The Pocket Scientist. This is perfect for grades 9-12 where more general subjects are covered with a focus on hands-on learning. If you know someone interested in STEM ages 14-18, grab this for 15% off in the month of February using code INSPIRE15 at checkout. Limited to the first 15 customers.

    February Resource: A huge collection of free digital tools

    Don’t let a simple file format issue grind your workday to a halt. TinyWow is a web collection of digital tools to handle those annoying, non-technical tasks that engineers and scientists face every day. The free tools do quick tasks like:

    • Split a PDF into multiple sections
    • Convert photo and video files into different formats
    • Compress or upscale your images

    It’s a great "friction-remover" to bookmark on your lab computer for the administrative side of technical work. You’ll also find plenty of AI-powered tools built in. Happy researching!

    Just for fun: Science Cartoon

    As you prepare for this year’s presentations, consider bringing a little extra tech.

    Taking a few weeks off for the next launch

    My biggest launch ever…we’re having a baby! In late February, I’ll be doing minimal work besides customer support, and our team will help keep things moving in general. I can’t wait to have a little lab partner to explore all the fun basics of science with!
