Jennifer Quinn is very creative. #MicrobialCentricity

Here is a #LuxSelfie of yours truly, illuminated by #BacterialBioluminescence. It’s creepy and wonderful. #MicrobialEvangelist #MicrobialCentricity #MicrobialEnthusiasm @univpugetsound @asmicrobiology @microbetv.bsky.social

Happy to share Episode 126 of #MattersMicrobial, w Spencer Nyholm, discussing how maternal microbes protect squid eggs from fungal infection. Please spread the #GoodMicrobialWord? #MicrobialEvangelist #MicrobialCentricity @microbetv.bsky.social @spencernyholm.bsky.social

“With my mind on my microbes and my microbes on my mind.”

With apologies to Snoop, this is how I feel each day away from the house. #MicrobialCentricity #MicrobialEvangelist #FindYourPassion @microbetv.bsky.social @asmicrobiology @univpugetsound

I really treasure this glass artwork of luminous bacteria made by the talented Jane Hartman of Trilobite Glassworks. #MicrobialCentricity #MicrobialEvangelist #MicrobialArt @microbetv.bsky.social @asmicrobiology @univpugetsound

It’s fun studying “water bottle buddies” (#WBBs). Here is a plastic bottle swabbed from the inside wall of the bottle, and the integral straw. Cannot wait to see 16S rRNA results! I wish I had $$$ to do this seriously. #MicrobesEverywhere #MicrobialCentricity #WaterBottleBuddies @microbe.tv

I visited a colleague's classroom and talked about some #MicrobialCentricity. In order: see how happy I was?, the dI spigot in our stockroom, a swab from the spigot on an R2A plate, and (thanks to Plasmidsaurus) a "Top 20" abundance of bacterial taxa! An entire odd community!

From bioluminescent colonies on plates, to liquid cultures, to student painting, to the results. The intersection of microbiology and art is beautiful. #MicrobialCentricity #DontFearTheMicrobe #bioluminescence #ScienceArt @asmicrobiology @univpugetsound @MicrobeTV

#MicroMas is growing nearer in my little lab! Join the microbial world in celebration! #MicrobialEnthusiasts #MicrobialCentricity #DontFearTheMicrobe @asmicrobiology @univpugetsound @MicrobeTV

We should be grateful this #Thanksgiving for the cyanobacteria, which linked Photosystem I and Photosystem II and changed the planet, making oxygen that we now breath.  #MicrobialCentricity @univpugetsound @ASMicrobiology @microbe.tv

A little aliquot of microbiology today: concerning the word “germ” and #MicrobialPR @MicrobeTV @asmicrobiology @univpugetsound #MicrobialCentricity

Time to chat about Angelina Hesse, cooking, agar, Petri dishes, marine microbiology, and agarases. @univpugetsound @asmicrobiology @MicrobeTV #Micronauts #Bio350 #MicrobialCentricity

In my #Bio350 microbiology course at @univpugetsound, I try to encourage creativity by mixing art and science. My #Micronauts made #LuxArt by painting a culture of Photobacterium into nutrient media onto large Petri dishes. Such glowing masterpieces! @asmicrobiology @MicrobeTV #MicrobialCentricity

Green fluorescent protein expressed in E. coli for microbiology lab today. #MicrobialCentricity #Microbiology @univpugetsound @ASMicrobiology @microbe.tv

I adore this art I commissioned from Kaitlin Reiss, now as a pin. It's based on what Dean Martin said about Frank Sinatra: "It's Frank's world; we just live in it." #MicrobialCentricity

When I have a podcast guest on #MattersMicrobial, I send them a package of #microbialcentricity gifts of stickers, buttons, even a 3D printed "tardidoc." Every once in a while, a guest sends something back. Behold my 3D printed magnetotactic multicellular microbes from @quantaofgeorge.bsky.social!

Doing my best to promote #MicrobialCentricity at #ASMCUE in Pittsburgh. Quick trip is not easy on me physically. But I’m hanging in there.

If you come see me at the ASM stage for the #MattersMicrobial podcast with @TWiMSchmidt about copper and microbes at 11:30 AM I will have #MicrobialCentricity pins and buttons and few last #TardiDocs! Hope to see some of you! #ASMicrobe

Recording something for a fun program to be announced later...with @jennifer.j.quinn at my side in my office: Microbe Central? Fortress of Microbial Solitude? It was fun having her here. Hope the videos can be edited together! @univpugetsound @ASMicrobiology #MicrobialCentricity

Registered for #Microbe 2024. @jennifer.j.quinn and yours truly will be there. I will have #MicrobialCentricity buttons and some 3D printed tardigrades for folks who say “hello” and are kind to my face-blindness. I hope to see fellow #micronauts of the #QualityQuorum there! @asmicrobiology
