I found this beautiful plastic bacteriophage on eBay. It’s a Japanese toy! Really lovely. #MicrobialEvangelist #microbialcentrism @asmicrobiology @univpugetsound @MicrobeTV

Last night at the faculty club at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch NZ, I had a shandy, and got to hold a deep sea manganese nodule in my hand. I thought of @pgirguis.bsky.social and microbial respiration. #MicrobialCentrism.

This morning. Some call hydrogen sulphide the smell of rotten eggs. I call it the aroma of biochemically available high energy electrons. #MicrobialCentrism @ASMicrobiology @univpugetsound

How I adore bacterial bioluminescence! It still amazes me since the first time I saw it in the 8th grade. #microbiology #microbialcentrism @asmicrobiology @MicrobeTV @univpugetsound

From last week’s #LuxArt session at UT-Austin. Such fun, & so much creativity. I cannot get art departments interested in this kind of thing! Still, some participants did lovely work. Here are 4 great examples. #MicrobialPR #MicrobialCentrism @microbe.tv @univpugetsound @asmicrobiology @texasasm

And I am starting to send out requests for podcast guests on #MattersMicrobial from January to June. Wednesday mornings Pacific time are best. I really want to promote microbial science and microbial scientists. Happy to get requests or suggestions or volunteers. #MicrobialCentrism

My newest #MicrobialCentrism lapel pin. It makes me smile.

I like to bring #MicrobialCentrism swag to #ASMicrobe. I ask folks to post about their swag on social media. Some do, some do not. But right here, proof that a #QualityQuorum exists around me. Thank you, Seema Mattoo and Irene Newton. @mattoolab.bsky.social @chicascientifica.bsky.social

While I am at ASM Microbe in DC, I will be handing out #MicrobialCentrism buttons and pins. I am bringing 50 each of the lower pins. And 10 each of the fancy enamel pins on top. Come introduce yourself and you can have one. Please promote #MicrobialPR? @microbe.tv @asmicrobiology

Flying down to Los Angeles for #ASMicrobe. #MicrobialCentrism pins, check. Tardidoc army? Increasing in size. Hope to see some fellow microbial enthusiasts there. @univpugetsound @ASMicrobiology

One of my favorite #MicrobialCentrism designs by @jennifer.j.quinn . First, I loved Dr. Seuss. Second, I love microbiology. Third, I hand these out as stickers to my incoming MIcrobiology students every fall. What microbe do YOU think every #Micronaut should know? @microbe.tv @asmicrobiology

A little story about E. coli that makes colorful pigments! I use this when I teach microbiology at the University of Puget Sound to teach basic skills in a fun way. @univpugetsound @asmicrobiology @MicrobeTV #microbialcentrism #microbiology #labfun. atinygreencell.com
