在幕后，Labster的团队奉献了很多爱，时间和仔细的思考，以使每个实验室模拟都独一无二。

这包括在虚拟世界中工作时充分利用酷炫的事物，例如富有想象力的故事情节，尖端实验以及原本看不见的动态可视化。无论是添加3D全息图还是为您与爱因斯坦一起工作的机会，模拟导演的创造性触摸都可以使每个模拟都具有愉快而有效的学习体验。
我们决定询问团队，因为那些最了解他们的人：“What is your favorite Labster simulation, and why?”:
虽然对于某些人来说，很难只选择一个，但以下是他们选择的主题：

1.进化

Elisabeth Glomseth, Project Development Manager

“My favorite simulation is one of our Labster classics: theEvolutionlab. 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to perfect your understanding of the basic mechanisms of evolution and learn about the role of random mutations in natural selection.

2.再生生物学

Wilko Duprez, Simulation Director

“My favorite simulation is再生生物学，因为您会玩可爱的小斧头，但还可以创建奇怪的杂种，例如荧光axolotls或Axolotls，四肢过多。Axolotls的怪异再生特性背后的科学令人着迷且超级信息，我学到了很多东西 - 就像我们人类在特定条件下也能够再生我们的某些部分手指！”
Play the再生生物学simulation加入Prometheus博士的研究，以确定为什么有些伤口可以再生，而另一些人则不能再生。您可以剖析Axolotls（不必担心伦理的影响），并观察到负责恢复显微镜下缺失的肢体的细胞。

3.平衡

Ainara Lopez-Cordoba, Content lead link and research project manager

“您不能要求内容线索链接选择其中一个模拟婴儿作为她的最爱！
But, if I have to pick one, maybe I’d go for the ‘Equilibrium’ 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 withFritz-Haberas your mentor in the lab.”

4. Animal Genetics

Tobias Bolt Botnen, Scientific Simulation Director, Biology

“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!”
These ecology simulations will be released in the brand-newLabster VR. In VR, you’ll be able to visit an exoplanet called Astakos IV, a newly discovered location being explored as a potential habitat for humans. Taking on the role of an ecologist, you’ll learn all about the ecological dynamics of the environment, the landscape, population growth and the various ecological niches carved out by the creatures inhabiting this mysterious land.
“如果我们不能没有释放我的选择say ‘Animal Genetics’. 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.”
动物遗传学实验室，您可以尝试一下这里, teaches you the genetics behind double-muscled calves using linkage analysis. You’ll go on a mission to develop a reliable DNA test to determine whether commercially-sold meat labelled as “organic” really holds up to its claim.

5. Cellular Respiration

亚历克斯·吉尔摩, Marketing Intern

“For me, it’s got to be细胞呼吸. This is a topic I have always found especially challenging with traditional teaching because it feels quite abstract, and I would describe myself as a very visual learner. The virtual lab allowed me to experiment with mice (something I would never have the chance to do otherwise), and even travel inside the mitochondria to visualize the otherwise abstract details of the electron transport chain.”

6.细菌分离

Philip Wismer, Researcher

“我喜欢”Bacterial Isolation’, because it is one of the most open-ended simulations, giving high degrees of freedom to students to make mistakes and repeat experiments. The students get real-time feedback about their experiments on a screen, which allows them to reflect their actions at any time. This is even better than in real life!”
在此模拟中，您的任务是识别和隔离在当地鸡场中造成肉类污染的细菌，并防止流行病。

7. Confocal Microscopy

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. Exercise Physiology

Tina Katika, Simulation Director

“My favorite is `Exercise Physiology.` This simulation inspired me to include HIIT [high-intensity interval training] during my workouts. Without complicated theory and lab exercises it taught me how to become more fit and push my limits.”
You’ll take on the role of a supervisor in a clinical trial in the Exercise Physiology simulation，帮助确定HIIT对具有久坐生活方式的男人的影响。

9. Invertebrate Model Systems

Lindsay Petley-Ragan, Simulation Director

“My favorite is the [unreleased] `Chemistry of Carbon` simulation because of the animations bringing electron orbitals to life (which can be a very difficult concept for students to visualize) and because you get to play with adding and removing atoms to a molecule!
But if I had to pick another one (yay!) I’d choose ‘Invertebrate Model Systems’ because it feels very realistic in terms of how you analyze the C. elegans for experiments. And it guides you through all the steps of a screen so clearly which is one of the most historical and central principles of genetics and cell biology.”
由于这是一个虚拟实验室，因此您可以在现实生活中所需的十分之一的时间内在此无脊椎动物模型系统中进行完整的遗传筛查！

10. The Kjeldahl Method

Frederik Clauson-Kaas, Simulation Director

“目前我最喜欢的是Kjeldahl Method, 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 it’s name!”
在这个实验室中，您将收到来自3个不同生产商的奶粉样品，但有传言称它们可能已被篡改。

11. Light and Polarization

Rodrigo Guzmán, Simulation Director

“如果我现在必须从目录中的那些人那里选一个，我会选择光与极化simulation, 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!”
Einstein teaches you about electromagnetic waves in this lab, and you can become an expert in reflection and refraction by playing with lasers, mirrors and polarizing filters. You’ll even go to Antarctica and connect what you learn to photography, as you try to capture the magnificent scenery!

This one is so good that Rodrigo wasn’t the only one to pick it.

罗伯特·麦肯齐（Robert Mackenzie），工程主管

“My current favorite is `光与极化‘. It’s engaging, has Einstein and penguins and I think it’s both a simple, yet thoughtful way of approaching some of the basic concepts of light”

Try it now这里to meet Einstein and learn all about electromagnetic waves.
