Half of our students have started into their first week of Microbiology with Marv Meyers from Eastern University. While it is an intense course, we’re having a lot of fun in the lab! The students are all doing projects to try and identify unknown bacteria. Various items were swabbed to grow the bacteria cultures. Some of the items swabbed were: toes, fingernails, a shower floor, a nalgene bottle, the classroom light switch, a bunny’s ear, a botfly wound, the compost bucket lid, and the slackline.

The other half of our students are doing internships for the next two weeks. You can look forward to reading their mini-blog reports soon!
