Please support 2 Israeli high school students, in the finals of the SpaceLab competition. Read below their message and vote today!

Hello,

We are Ariel Berko and Yoav Levi from Rogozin High School in Kiryat Ata, Israel.
In our experiment, that was chosen to the big final of the SpaceLab competition we want to examine the effect of gravity on the mating process of the baker's yeast, which multiplies via sexual reproduction.
We think that the yeast will not do sexual reproduction in space because in this process there are many changes in the cells of the yeast and we think that they are affected by gravity.
This experiment will promote the researches of yeasts and the researches of all the cells on earth.
