'Anabaena in the polluted lake'. A mobile created by hydrobiology students this semester showing Anabaena drifting between microplastics. An artistic reflection on microbial life in a human impacted environment. #worldenvironmentday #plankton #cyanobacteria #biology #art #anabaena

I’ll miss this color palette when I switch to using a probe for dissolved oxygen in my classes #winkler #oxygen #hydrobiology

I was so happy to chat with @karenlloyd.bsky.social about her book on my #MattersMicrobial podcast!

Beta coefficients and estimated 95% confidence intervals for women or nonbinary, Asian, PEER, first-generation college going (First gen), LGBTQ+, and English as a second language (ESL) students, as well as GPA, with regard to (A) classmate FNE scores and (B) duration of classmate FNE. Reference groups are men, white students, continuing-generation college students, non-LGBTQ+ students, and native English speakers. Confidence intervals that do not cross the vertical dashed line at x = 0 are statistically significant.

The fear of negative evaluation (FNE) negatively impacts students' learning experiences. Research in #JMBE shows that student identities predict classmate & instructor FNE, highlighting the value of fostering judgment-free active learning environments: asm.social/2pn
