Hey Tiny Earthlings,
Tiny Earth now has a LinkedIn Group! This group is a place for Tiny Earth Partner Instructors (TEPIs), Tiny Earth students, and researchers to connect and share ideas, network highlights, and resources.

The National Institute of Scientific Teaching (NIST) held a conference on scientific teaching to build community and advance evidence-based teaching practices.

Tiny Earth Founder Jo Handelsman and Tiny Earth Executive Director Sarah Miller presented on the origins of scientific teaching.

Congratulations and welcome to the 24 new TEPIs who joined our Tiny Earth network through last week’s training! We are excited to see what's next for these TEPIs as they continue their Tiny Earth journey.

Congrats to the June 2025 cohort of TEPIs! Ten instructors from three countries participated in Canada’s first TEPI training at Carleton University in Ottawa where they learned how to implement the Tiny Earth research flow and scientific teaching principles. Welcome to the Tiny Earth community!

Tiny Earth founder @johandelsman.bsky.social shares the impacts of potential NIH indirect costs cuts to biomedical research and university operations on Wisconsin Public Radio. Listen here: www.wpr.org/shows/wiscon...

The Coalition for the Life Sciences posted information that every scientist should know about F&A costs. www.coalitionforlifesciences.org/facilities-a.... See also Q&A about indirect costs. www.coalitionforlifesciences.org/wp-content/u...

Tiny Earth founder Jo Handelsman calls for citizens, scientists, and policymakers to join forces for research. “Together, we can set priorities and spend taxpayers’ dollars wisely in science rather than waging an indiscriminate war on discovery that will erode America’s preeminence in science.”

Hello and happy (belated) World Soil Day from Tiny Earth! Our network of students and instructors sourcing antimicrobials from soil microbes relies on diverse soils for research. Join us in celebrating this precious resource every day! #tinyearth #worldsoilday #soilrocks
