I have used your projects with kids in the after-school programs in nyc for years. You have saved me so many times with your love of science in a tangible way.

I had never read your story about your past illness until today for some reason. I had the same thing happen in the last couple of years and appreciate my hands and abilities more everyday.

Glad to see you're on youtube. Thanks for your dedication and sharing.

Thanks for the kind words. Glad to see people making the projects. I hope you completely recovered from GBS.

RE the rip between thumb and pointer finger: I've not worried about it, just using it as a teaching moment to show how stretchy the skin between our fingers is. You might try a thin layer of silicone?

Hello, I have to do this project this week to make up past classes I have missed. This week we have the PSSA testing so our classes have been cut to 35 minutes. This project does not seem terribly hard but I was wondering if you believe that I can finish this project by next Wednesday. Thank you!

Fantastic Video, looks like another project for another day. When I make my trip into town to pick up my 5 minute epoxy, i will pick up some silicone to try this project.

Thanks so much for sharing.
