Our Mission
We enjoy learning. We want to discover how things work, to find the deep beauties of the universe, and to use these knowledge to do fun, funny, unusual things. We believe that you do, too.
The way we like to learn unusual things is by using science lab tools to try out strange ideas.
We like to share our tools with interested and curious people, by lending them to science teachers for a fee. Want to borrow some?
Technical staff
If you work with us, probably these are the people whom you will see.
We three have been in this business, serving science teachers, for ten years.
Glen “Bubba” Chung
Technical Boss
I’m Bubba. I write the website content, and I’m in charge of the day-to-day operations around here. For a living, I teach chemistry part-time at a local community college. I used to teach middle school science.
Neyda Muyus
Technician
In addition to doing technical support, Neyda is the idea-generator around here. It was her idea to revamp our website, her idea to get LESS T-shirts, and so on. Neyda is certified in middle and high school laboratory safety techniques and procedures, by Flinn Scientific.
Ilse Valerio
Technician
In addition to doing technical support, Ilse is the organizing mind around here, a master of creating order in our stores of otherwise random lab equipment and supplies. Ilse is certified in middle and high school laboratory safety techniques and procedures, by Flinn Scientific.
