Michigan Teachers! @BrooBio and I are hosting a workshop to address evolution misconceptions. Jen will be showcasing a horse evolution storyline she wrote and I will feature a snake speciation storyline I authored. Sponsored by @NCSE & @sse_evolution tinyurl.com/xxvf336a

A HUGE TY to @thermofisher for lending us 2 of YOUR best today! The Ss loved hearing about the company, future workforce and what they need to accomplish their goals without needing a college degree!One of my Ss said I have hope I can do other things! @evolvingSTEM TY Dr. Matela! – at Pittsburgh, PA

Not only did the light boxes work they had great success spreading the bacteria and seeing them GLOW! #STEM @evolvingSTEM

The “Light Box Challenge!” These Ss of mine totally knocked it out of the park! They may not know all the technical terms but they displayed they understood the concept! WTG! 🏆🫶🏼👏🏼
One is scared to talk but still wanted to represent! #sciencenerdsrock #STEM @evolvingSTEM

LATE POST! It’s been so busy the past three days I feel like I can barely breathe! But these photos make it ALL worth it!!!
Inoculation day!!! I wish you could see the concentration looks on their faces! ☺️🙌🏼👏🏼👊🏼

Today we combined our serological pipetting skills with serial dilutions! The Ss ASKED me to take their pics.They are SO PROUD of themselves!
Also pictured is Dr. Abigail Matela Univ of Pitt & sr Talia working on prepping the start of our Biofilm lab for tomorrow! @evolvingSTEM

The start of our @evolvingSTEM lab in partnership with the @UniversityofPittsburgh! Today was a review of our micropipetting skills and a new lesson for the 9th graders who had never done pipetting before! #STEMeducation #sciencenerdsrock

I'm making fresh agar stabs of these if anyone wants them for their lab or class. $20/plasmid. Open source. DM me postal and email address and I'll ship em by next friday :)

More closeups of the weird multicolored bacteria situation. I used plasmids by @ATinyGreenCell, in E. coli. It's an exercise for students to learn how to streak one thing from a mixture. I mixed cultures with the different colors---so not cotransformation? Fascinating! @profvrr

Finally complete!!! Serial dilution matching game!!! It was a lot of pipetting and plating…abt 50 plates in all! 😳🤣😅🙌🏼 Ss will be given a series and have to put them in the correct order! Modified Lab for Bio A done! Onto Bio B nxt week! 💙💛 @evolvingSTEM

Day 3 plates 👀 even better & the last day for posting them!😅
Can’t believe it worked & I was allowed to do it w/o getting in trouble!😂 Also, a pic of my now messy lab area & my nemesis-the glass bead spreaders! Hence, some of my “interesting” plate “designs!😩😆@evolvingSTEM
EvolvingSTEM retweeted
Today’s plates with a much more noticeable difference!!! One more glance tomorrow! 👀🤩
And just wait til you see the curriculum unit I wrote!!! EPIC! Stay tuned!!!

The extension to my lab idea WORKED!👏👏So excited! Special S/O to Abigail Matela for letting me try to use the “glow” bc my kids will think it’s cool!😂 You can read more below! 1/3 @evolvingSTEM #sciencenerdsrock

Today’s Mod! Serial Dilution Matching Game! I plated over 6 sets of serial dilutions! Ss get a set of pics all mixed up to put in the correct order, put their answers on poster paper, then state their evidence as to why they put which pics where!#sciencenerdsrock @evolvingSTEM

Media day for summer curriculum work. Working out some things for next year. @evolvingSTEM
