This is great! @NIAIDNews have launched a collection of public domain illustrations (currently 550 individual icons) bioart.niaid.nih.gov
Are you a student or recent PhD graduate in the field of microbiology? ASM’s Young Ambassador program is calling for exceptional candidates to become future leaders in microbial sciences. Apply or share this opportunity today! Applications close Nov. 1. asm.org/programs/asm-a…
**Hot off the press** The updated ASM Curricular Guidelines for Undergraduate Microbiology are here! On a personal note, it was a privilege to work on the Guidelines with this group of community-oriented educators and microbiophiles! asm.org/Articles/2024/…
We're talking about antibiotics in my class and a student asked a wonderful curiosity question that I need your help to answer: Which antibiotics (or class of antibiotics) are effective against the broadest spectrum of bacteria?
It’s Picnic Day and another chance to Meet the Microbes! Come on by Esau Hall room 2079 to see glow-in-the dark agar art, gram-stained cheek cells, & more!

I am thrilled to start an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at @DartmouthCollege in July 2024. We will study genetic & neural basis of behavior evolution & how behavior affects evolution. Recruiting talented & enthusiastic scientists to join the lab!
I am very curious about the motivation to get vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 217 times….
It's a treat to interact with faculty and staff who value learning as much as I do! And these dream participants make me wish for high levels of engagement in all my classes. 🙋🏽 Thanks to CEE & Patricia for helping me share what I've learned with fellow teachophiles!

✨New @CBELifescied publication✨! This one was a labor of love & I'm so excited to finally share it. We looked at how Black biology students took on the role of science communicators during the COVID-19 pandemic and what support they needed... 1/x lifescied.org/doi/10.1187/cb…
New pub alert‼️ Our study (@kimberlydtanner @JeffBioEd) reveals how healthcare professionals find details & amount of content in A&P prerequisites as exclusionary, unmemorable, & irrelevant to their careers. Many implications for other STEM prerequisites! lifescied.org/doi/10.1187/cb…
The gorilla experiment, taken to the next level with a data visualization exercise! @ProfSmyth The linked paper provides excellent support for your point that our curriculum should teach students the value of discovery science, not just hypothesis testing. 🤩
Fascinating data visualization examples!
