I adore bacterial bioluminescence! Here I am years ago, illuminated by a stack of Petri dishes with Photobacterium. 5 seconds on one side of the stack, 5 seconds on the other. Fun! #MicrobialEvangelist #MicrobialCentricity #BacterialBioluminescence @microbetv.bsky.social @asm.org

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

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

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

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

Remembering the time I found a “Pac Man” bacterial colony on a Petri plate while looking at marine isolates. #WhoGrowsThere #MicrobialCentricity #MicrobialEvangelist @univpugetsound @asmicrobiology @MicrobeTV

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

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!

One of my favorite #MicrobialArt buttons promoting #MicrobialCentricity. My design and art created by Kaitlin Reiss. The Latin reads: “Small, Powerful, and Numerous, They Rule the World.” Indeed, we are all “microbe-biologists.” @univpugetsound @asmicrobiology @microbetv.bsky.social

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

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

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

Remember that enormous sheet metal bacteriophage sculpture a first year student made me years ago? I found a good purpose for it in my lab (since the safety officers felt it was in the way of things). #MicrobialArt #StudentCreativity #MicrobialEvangelist #MicrobialCentricity @microbetv.bsky.social

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

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

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