It’s time for a three-way battle of subatomic proportions! Choose your particle:

Proton: You have a positive personality, and we have you to thank for the variety of elements that exist on this planet.

Neutron: Neutral in charge, but certainly not neutral in battle! Were it not for you, we would have no isotopes and no radioisotope dating.

Electron: Negative but energetic, you power the world but are also dangerous. Will you use your powers for good, or will you need to be locked up (in a battery cell)?

Now go forth, do battle, and try not to fission and nuke the place!

Team sign-ups start now! The competition begins on March 5 at 11:00 AM Eastern Time, and ends 24 hours later.
