Hello and thank you for your patience in waiting for a reply

The Ask the Expert forums are for students in grades K-12 who are doing science projects.

Are you doing a hands-on science project that involves estrogen? Please provide more details about your project, including your hypotheses and the experiments you plan to conduct.
