Quantal Bioscience is a small company doing big things with tiny microbes. We love bringing the amazing world of microbiology and science research to all.
Stage 6 Biology Ts - our new Microbiology in Depth program is ready. Focus on Antimicrobial Resistance provides you with a framework for Depth Studies that contribute to and extend the outcomes of Module 7: Infectious Diseases. Tues 31st July. [email protected].
Looking forward to #conasta coming up next month in Sydney. Join us to build 'em, blast 'em and shine a light on biofilms in your classroom. #microbiologyinschools https://t.co/SW2dLZF4LG
Bacteria were once thought to be lonely, independent unicellular organisms. This, of course, was a gross oversimplification. Bacteria aggregate to form multicellular communities that behave as a single organism & cooperate to keep this "self" alive. https://t.co/n7PNL80u90
Hooray! We've just been awarded a WISE Grant to increase female participation in science in Greater Western Sydney. Ts, we're looking for three GWS schools with commercial kitchen facilities and female Ss to partner with us. Pls get in contact. Details - https://t.co/JtlKI1Dj99
Welcome back Ts to Term 2. Want to try something fresh in your classroom this term? Our next Microbiology in Schools: Skill UP, Fear NOT 1-day workshop for Stage 3 - 6 Ts and technicians is on next Tuesday 8th May. For details [email protected]#microinschools
Primary school teachers, let us bring the microbiology adventures to you! New for 2018, our Build & Blast a Biofilm microADVENTURE is a whole-of-school incursion that tailors to Ss across K – 6, with workshop times to suit you. Email [email protected] for details.
Just one more sleep until Santa!
And then, the answer to the big question...have you been naughty or nice this year?
(With microbes, it's not always so easy to tell...)
This study rings true with our observations in teaching science research to primary and high school students over the past year...it wasn't at what we expected but it really does seem that 'stretching' teaching makes the biggest difference in the younger students, & it's a joy. https://t.co/6vCO0CMA2j
@UTS_Science PhD student @d_bouzo and his mentors @nural_c and @ProfLizHarry are investigating the use of honey to combat the ever rising antibiotic resistant bacteria we are now facing, such as MRSA. Listen to Dans insightful interview on 2SER here: https://t.co/Rg8VdDDJZc
Common yet crucial misunderstanding: Bacteria under threat from antibiotics don’t change by acquiring the trait of antibiotic resistance, thereby “outsmarting” us. Instead, what happens is that →→→ https://t.co/oNMGb0vzl0 #superbugs
And almost every time we watch a child look down our awesome fluorescence microscope for the first time we hear them exclaim a variation of "Wow! It's like looking at the stars!" It's the amazement of recognising the scale (on either side) of the world around you. https://t.co/ea6WC9BbdR
@therealtruong @Hobson_k Hey @therealtruong I know what you mean! Mentos have infiltrated every training day / workshop / conference...they are clearly on a path to world domination and must be stopped! That's why we're giving the milko and sherbie underdogs a go in our workshops + CHOCKY BIKKIES! ☺
