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

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

From last week’s #LuxArt session at UT-Austin. Such fun, & such creativity. Amazing I cannot get art departments interested in this kind of thing! Here are some #LuxSelfies illuminated by living bacterial light! #MicrobialPR #MicrobialCentrism @microbe.tv @univpugetsound @asmicrobiology @texasasm

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

All of my #Bio350 #Micronauts get this package of #MicrobialCentrism gifts to promote positive #MicrobialPR.  #LastSemesterTeaching @ASMicrobiology @univpugetsound

So I posted this over on TikTok. I need to get my #MicrobialPR going. I’m still learning.

So I pestered folks, and my university put this up in our weekly news report from campus. I think #MicrobialPR is important, and will try to promote it when I can.

Getting my new luggage ready for ASM Microbe in DC next week. Lots of #MicrobialPR stickers. Needs to be painted! #ASMicrobe @univpugetsound @ASMicrobiology @microbe.tv

Sigh. You know I will have to commission fancy enamel pins that read “ASK ME ABOUT MICROBES.” I need to win the lottery to promote #MicrobialPR the way I want to do so. #DontFearTheMicrobe

I am so happy when I meet a #MicrobialEnthusiast, give them a #MicrobialCentrism pin, and they post about it, tagging me. #MicrobialPR #MicrobialEvangelist @univpugetsound @ASMicrobiology #ASMicrobe

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

I work hard to promote good #microbialPR. So at the recent Lucy Darling / Sarah Hester Ross show in Las Vegas, I gifted @carisahendrix with a plush spirochaete (causing syphilis) and @sarahhesterross with a plush bacteriophage (virus that kills bacteria that are being used to treat infections).

I have a long history of handing out #MicrobialPR items in my travels and classes. From time to time, it is reciprocated! The latest example is from my invited talk at Penn State. A fun button from the @psumbiome.bsky.social and Erika Ganda’s epic lab keychain!

Putting together my “microbial gift bags” for the first day of my microbiology class on Tuesday. Every student gets one. #MicrobialPR @univpugetsound @ASMicrobiology

It will be released this Friday!  #Grateful #MicrobialPR #MicrobialLiteracy #MicrobeTV 2/2
