Independent Generation of Research (IGoR)

Mission: IGoR's goal is to help everyone, from science enthusiasts and hobbyists to professionals, do scientific research. IGoR provides a platform for people to pool their knowledge, resources, time, and creativity so that everyone can pursue their own scientific curiosity.

Simple microscopy tricks. Article pages allow users to share information about methods, resources, or other things.	Challenge: Devising a fast, easy way to measure embryo stiffness. Project pages allow users to suggest research questions, or participate in existing research projects.	Exploding hill cane populations Spark pages are a quick way to share an interesting observation that might inspire someone to go further.
