Sniff. My last #Bio350 class at the University of Puget Sound. Nineteen #Micronauts. I am so lucky to have been able to do this, and I hope that I can continue to find ways to do outreach and promote #MicrobialCentrism. #GratefulProf @univpugetsound @asmicrobiology @microbe.tv

Doing a little microbiology on the weekend. I was doing a LOT of dilutions and plating, and thought I would talk about it. #microbialcentrism #microbiologytechniques @univpugetsound @asmicrobiology @MicrobeTV

From last week’s #LuxArt session at UT-Austin. Such fun, and so much creativity. Amazing I cannot get art departments interested in this kind of thing! Still, some participants did lovely work. #MicrobialPR #MicrobialCentrism @microbe.tv @univpugetsound @asmicrobiology

I like to bring #MicrobialCentrism swag to #ASMicrobe. I ask folks to post about their swag on social media. Some do, some do not. But right here, proof that a #QualityQuorum exists around me. Thank you, Seema Mattoo and Irene Newton. @mattoolab.bsky.social @chicascientifica.bsky.social

I had a wonderful day yesterday. DInner with two former #DocMartians, who reminded me of wonderful times. So many people have been kind to me at #ASMicrobe. Sometimes I get overwhelmed, but I am happy to meet each of you. AND I have more #MicrobialCentrism items to give away! Hope to see you today.

Art I commissioned from Kaitlin Reiss, riffing on the Dean Martin story from the 60s. Someone asked him about Frank Sinatra’s actions in Las Vegas. He replied, “It’s Frank’s world. We just live in it.” So it is with the microbes! #microbiology #microbialcentrism @microbetv.bsky.social

I will be heading off to @ASMicrobiology #Microbe a week from today. I will be carrying 50 of each of these #MicrobialCentrism pins. Want one? Say “hello” to me, post of photo of yourself with it, and tag me and #MicrobialCentrism! I’m sort of face blind, so please be patient.

And I am starting to send out requests for podcast guests on #MattersMicrobial from January to June. Wednesday mornings Pacific time are best. I really want to promote microbial science and microbial scientists. Happy to get requests or suggestions or volunteers. #MicrobialCentrism

I just ordered #MicrobialCentrism buttons, pins, & stickers for this Fall's microbiology class (the last time I will be teaching here as I retire). So @lizahaart.bsky.social created the most perfect image that will be on T-shirts, pins, stickers, and buttons. Thank you! #MicrobiologyIsFUNdamental

I will not lie: I wish that @jennifer.j.quinn and I were there, and could have run a #LuxArt session with the audience. But at least the folks at MSI asked us to put a video together, and I hope that the audience enjoys it. #MicrobialCentrism @univpugetsound @ASMicrobiology

In my first lecture for my #Bio350 #Micronauts, I asked for a one word response to the word "Bacteria." Here is a word cloud of their responses. We will do it again at the end of the course, to see how their reactions have changed. #MicrobialLiteracy #MicrobialCentrism

Micro lab today was low key fire, then ate dilution series and left no crumbs. Slay. #Bio350 #Micronauts #MicrobialCentrism.

The only archaean from Giant Microbes. I’m hoping they might consider Pyrodictium or Lokiarchaeota. @GIANTmicrobes @univpugetsound @ASMicrobiology #MicrobialCentrism.
