ABOUT
LABMATES
LabMates was born from a simple idea: break down complex science and pair it with interactive activities & visuals to enhance learning through exploration.
Start by building a basic understanding with flashcards & matching games, which leverage active recall and spaced repetition to move information from your working memory into long-term storage.
Then gain a more in-depth understanding with the ‘LabMates’— model organisms that are always willing to take a break from the laboratory to explain specific topics in more detail.
