We are one of the four teams from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Pune, as a part of the 'Student SciComm fellowships' funded by the British Council Going Global Partnership: Industry-Academia Collaborative Grant.
In this project, we have developed a microsite to explain in a simple way, with the help of illustrations and interactive images, how and why model organisms are used in basic science research. The content is aimed at anyone who is interested in learning more about model organisms and Biology in general.
