Wow! #Bio350#Micronauts tried out a new experiment. Expose E. coli to lambda(vir). Patch survivors onto MacConkey maltose plates. Big survivors are red. Small survivors white. The latter defective in maltose receptor? @univpugetsound@ASMicrobiology
Casadeval’s goal is to change the focus of disease research to BOTH microbial & host variables but getting rid of “pathogen” won’t change that. In real life it’s not just one variable changing, so maybe scientists are the ones who need to change... #pathogone@markowenmartin
What @markowenmartin said: "You can get extra credit for tweeting a #MicroMeme."
What I heard: "Summarize the entire reading assignment in a meme, then make three more just for fun."
(Sorry for the violence in the antibiotics one, but that one made even my non-bio friends laugh.)
We should be talking about the interdomain communication that occurs between microbes and animals in First Year Biology Classes. It’s important to know about how microbes affect us, not only in negative ways, but positive ways too! #Bio350#GivingMicrobesTheirDue@markowenmartin
