So proud of my honors bio 9th graders. We just genetically engineered E. coli using CRISPR-Cas9. This was my first time doing this lab, and they were able to follow a complex protocol to knock out the lacZ gene which makes the bacterial colonies appear white instead of blue. 🤩

@ClaireMBrisson Congratulations!

It’s almost time for the first day of school. As you prepare for a new school year, remember that the Illinois Sales Tax Holiday for school supplies starts August 5th.

Some school supplies you can save on:

@NCSE This is great news! I often find that the people who reject evolution don’t understand it or weren’t exposed to it. Biology educators have done a great job at developing lessons and using real world phenomena to address these misconceptions.

My young scientists learning how to use gel electrophoresis as a tool for detecting cancer-causing genetic mutations and determining patterns of inheritance. 🧬🥼

Until I became a science teacher, I never fully understood how much work and care my teachers put into setting up the cool labs and activities we did.

Just spent some time making gels and pipetting DNA samples—I’m excited to do some biotech labs this week with my students!!

"If you don't want to teach, don't teach. Quit." - @JoeNBC

- Teachers want to teach.
- Teachers are getting sick.
- There are not enough subs.
- Teachers who aren't getting sick are now expected to cover for the teachers who are.
- Then those teachers get sick or leave.

Just another reminder that it's never too late to learn! https://t.co/55dNPQQAQF
