Thank you for joining us for I’m a Scientist, Get Me out of Here! for August/September 2013.

It was a truly amazing effort. The final stats are as follows and includes a new I’m a Scientist, Get me out of Here! record for the number of questions asked in a single zone – 428 questions posted in the Nitrogen Zone, smashing the previous record of 399 held by the Disease Zone of our March event:

The big news are the Student Zone Winners. In each zone we award a $50 iTunes voucher and certificate to a student based on the recommendations of our scientists, recognising a quality question, contributing to a interesting discussion or degree of engagement with the Q&A and Live Chat. We’ve also made some special commendations and those students will receive certificates. Certificates and vouchers are being posted via your coordinating teacher. The winners are:
