Behind the scenes, the team at Labster dedicate a lot of love, time, and careful thought to making each and every lab simulation unique. This includes making the most of the cool things possible when working in a virtual world, like imaginative storylines, cutting-edge experiments, and dynamic visualizations of the otherwise invisible. Whether it’s adding 3-D holograms or giving you a chance to work alongside Einstein, the Simulation Directors’ creative touch helps to make each simulation such an enjoyable and effective learning experience.
我们决定问团队，因为那些最了解他们的人：“你最喜欢的Labster模拟是什么？为什么？”
While for some it proved difficult to choose just one, here are the topics they picked:
1.进化
Elisabeth Glomseth，项目开发经理
“我最喜欢的模拟是我们的Labster Classics之一：进化lab. The story introduces you to a real-life beached animal, and through conducting DNA tests you not only identify it, but trace its evolution through thousands of years. Without spoiling it – who knew such a colossal sea creature could have evolved from such a small and insignificant four-legged one? Mind. Blown.”
In the Evolution lab, your first task will be to identify an unknown sea creature that was washed ashore in Cambodia in 2013. By sequencing its DNA, you can compare it with other organisms in the sequencing database and construct a phylogenetic tree to depict its relatedness to other organisms.
搏一搏为了完善您对进化基本机制的理解，并了解自然选择中随机突变的作用。
2.再生生物学
Wilko Duprez, Simulation Director
“My favorite simulation isRegeneration Biology, because you play with cute little axolotls, but you also create weird hybrids such as fluorescent axolotls or axolotls with too many limbs. The science behind the weird regenerative properties of axolotls is fascinating and super informative, and I learned so much – like that even us humans are able to regenerate some parts of our fingers under specific conditions!”
播放再生生物学模拟在他的研究中加入Prometheus博士，以确定为什么一些伤口可以再生，但其他人不能。您可以解剖腋窝（不必担心道德意义），并观察负责在显微镜下恢复缺失的肢体的细胞。
3. Equilibrium
Ainara Lopez-Cordoba，内容铅环和研究项目经理
“你不能要求内容领导链接选择其中一个模拟婴儿作为她的最爱！但是，如果我必须挑选一个，也许我会去'平衡’ simulation. It is a very key topic in chemistry and one that is not so easy to grasp. This simulation teaches it in a very visual and interactive way, allowing students to play around with the equilibrium and to see what happens at the molecular level. And you can even make an explosion if you make a mistake. And, on top of all of that, it has a little bit of history as well with弗里茨哈默尔as your mentor in the lab.”

4.动物遗传学
Tobias Bolt Botnen，科学仿真导演，生物学
“Only one? There’s a favorite simulation for each topic! The new (unreleased) ecology sims are going to be different, educational, and amazing in a way not seen before!”
您将能够参观一个名为Astakos IV的外表，一个新发现的位置被探索为人类的潜在栖息地。承担生态学家的角色，您将了解环境的生态动态，景观，人口增长，以及居住在这个神秘的土地上的生物雕刻的各种生态利基。“如果我们不能选择没有发布的人，我会说'动物遗传学’. Two topics I’ve always found fascinating, animals (in this case cattle) and genetics. From all the Labster simulations I’ve tried so far, this one stayed with me.”
动物遗传实验室，你可以尝试here，使用联动分析教导您双肌肉牛犊后面的遗传学。您将继续开发可靠的DNA测试以确定标有“有机”的商业销售的肉类真正持有其索赔。
5.细胞呼吸
Alex Gilmore，营销实习生
“For me, it’s got to be细胞呼吸。这是我一直发现的主题，特别是传统教学尤其挑战，因为它感觉非常摘要，我会将自己描述为一个非常视觉学习者。虚拟实验室让我试验小鼠（我永远不会有机会做的事情），甚至在线粒体内部旅行，以可视化电子传输链的摘要细节。“
试试吧yourselfto learn about the Krebs cycle using 3D molecules and experiment on mice to help some street basketball players understand how the food they eat gets converted to energy.
6.细菌隔离
Philip Wismer, Researcher
“我喜欢 '细菌孤立“因为它是最开放的模拟之一，为学生提供了高度的自由来犯错误和重复实验。华体会赞助ac米兰学生们在屏幕上进行实时反馈，允许他们随时反思他们的行为。这甚至比现实生活更好！“
In this simulation, you’ll be tasked with identifying and isolating the bacteria responsible for a meat contamination at a local chicken farm and preventing an epidemic. The simulation challenges you to independently isolate a colony under sterile conditions with little instruction (have a gohere）。但别担心，你可以自由地犯错误并重复实验，直到你钉了它。
7.共聚焦显微镜
Michael Bodekaer, Co-founder and CTO
“Confocal Microscopy’, because it was built together with students at Exeter, has expensive microscopes freely available, and has an awesome immersive 3D hologram of the 3D Confocal scans which students normally can’t even experience with a real laboratory.”

8.锻炼生理学
蒂娜卡特卡，模拟总监
“My favorite is '锻炼生理学'。此模拟激发了我在锻炼过程中包括HIIT [高强度间隔训练]。没有复杂的理论和实验室练习，它教会了我如何变得更加合适并推动我的极限。“您将在运动生理学模拟中担任监事在临床试验中的作用，帮助确定HIIT对具有久坐生活方式的男人的影响。
9.无脊椎动物模型系统
Lindsay Petley-Ragan，模拟总监
“我最喜欢的是[未发布]的碳化学仿真因子，因为动画为生命带来了生命（这可能是一个非常困难的学生想象的概念），因为你可以在分子上添加和移除原子！但如果我不得不选择另一个（Yay！）我会选择'无脊椎动物模型系统“因为它对如何分析C.杆杆线虫进行实验感觉非常现实。它如此明确地指导您通过屏幕的所有步骤，这是遗传和细胞生物学最历史和中央原则之一。“由于这是一个虚拟实验室，您可以在现实生活中的第十分之一的时间内在这个无脊椎动物模型系统中进行完整的遗传筛查！

10. Kjeldahl方法
Frederik Clauson-Kaas, Simulation Director
“My favorite at the moment is thekjeldahl方法, because it was the first simulation I helped deliver to launch. It showcases some sweet new machines with intuitive interactions, includes high-end mass spectrum interpretation, and just keeps adjusting the color of your sample solution to how it would look in real life. As a nice bonus feature, no one seems to know how to pronounce its name!”
在这个实验室中，您将获得3种不同生产商的一批样品的牛奶粉，但谣言具有它们可能被篡改。看看这个to learn all about how scientists can analyze a sample using the Kjeldahl method in order to determine the exact protein content and to make sure this is consistent with the reported value.
11.光和极化
Rodrigo Guzmán, Simulation Director
“If I had to pick one right now from those in the catalog, I’d pick theLight and Polarizationsimulation, because it explains complex concepts in physics in a very interactive way, so I feel I can learn physics without memorizing tedious formulas… and Einstein is helping me during the process! How cool is that? You don’t have the chance to chat with a Nobel prize winner every day!”
爱因斯坦教导你在这个实验室中的电磁波，并且通过使用激光器，镜子和偏振过滤器，您可以成为反射和折射的专家。你甚至可以去南极洲并在你试图捕捉壮丽的风景时连接你学到摄影的东西！这个是如此善良，罗德里戈不是唯一一个挑选它的人。
Robert MacKenzie, Head of engineering
“My current favorite is `Light and Polarization”。它的迷人,爱因斯坦和企鹅和我think it’s both a simple, yet thoughtful way of approaching some of the basic concepts of light” Try it nowhere满足爱因斯坦并学习所有关于电磁波。
