Barry, I know you're already familiar with this, but for the benefit of others interested in this question and related issues-the latest issue (March/April 2013) of Dimensions, ASTC's award-winning magazine, focuses on digital media, gaming, and learning. It's available to electronic subscribers at http://members.astc.org, and the print edition was mailed yesterday. Any paid staff member at an ASTC-member institution can subscribe to Dimensions (print or electronic edition) for free-just visit http://members.astc.org to sign up. Nonmembers can subscribe at http://astc.org/pubs/dimensions.htm. You can order specific back issues at http://www.astc.org/pubs/order_now.htm.

Also, keep an eye out for our May/June issue, which will focus on personalizing the science center/museum experience. It will include an article from 21-Tech about linking existing apps and exhibits.

I just recently started playing Plague, a new and popular mobile game in which you play the role of a plague trying to destroy humanity. It teaches all about the spread of disease and about disease prevention. That got me thinking about Osmos, a lovely game nominally about the process of Osmosis. And I wondered how many other good mobile games - and by good I mean well designed and engaging - rely on science concepts and if any of you might be playing any you could recommend?
