The Public Lab site is a social research sharing website for non-professional and professional scientists alike.

It's like an online lab notebook where students can:

• post their work
• get feedback from peers and other Public Lab members
• create a profile and recieve attribution for your contributions
• participate in open source collaboration

• not subscribe to mailing lists if you are under 13* (confirm this), instead, pass questions through teachers
