Frog Dissection receives the Mark Twain Ethical Science Award from PETA
We are thrilled about the recognition that Frog Dissection has received. The award from advocacy groups like PETA just confirms the fact that Frog Dissection is a great app to replace real dissections. With millions of animals being subjected to inhumane treatment every year, PETA feels that this app will do a fine job of teaching animal anatomy sans the mess.

Much like the award from PETA, the app is also getting rave reviews in blogs and forums. Just take a look at what Chris Rauber has posted on his blog in the San Francisco Business Times. (http://sanfrancisco.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/blog/2010/07/frogs_in_fremont.html)
We are excited about the many possibilities of creating similar apps
that will teach dissection in an interactive manner without every
harming a single animal.
Hope you've had fun using Frog Dissection. We’ll be shortly releasing the updated version which will have additional systems and interactive quizzes, so be sure to catch it.
