First visit to #SaintLouisArtMuseum in way too long. Shouldn't forget we have a treasure like this just up the road. The #AnselmKiefer instalation is awe inspiring.

Thanks to colleagues at Missouri State for the invitation to talk about the great work of my students. An opportunity to reflect on exciting collaborations with colleagues from across campus. I need to do this more often!

Looking forward to visiting Missouri State University this afternoon for a seminar. If you're in the Springfield area stop by. 4:00 in Roy Blunt Hall 103. I hope my engineering colleagues appreciate the whimsical title that celebrates the fun of working with colleagues across disciplines :-).

Thanks to the Missouri S&T chapter of #SWE I got to talk to some prospective students about #SyntheticBiology. Sharing some fun activities and creating #AgarArt stay tuned to check out their masterpieces. Also got to hand out some of our cool new Missouri S&T Biology swag.

Forgot to post this last week. Had the honor of doing the coin toss for the Miner Sports #FacultyAndStaffAppreciationNight game against #UIndy. At halftime i got to join faculty and staff colleagues being recognized for supporting Missouri S&T #StudentAthletes.

It's #SaturdayWalkDay, #HereComesTheFlood edition. Made it out before the storms hit but will need to get out again later to get enough steps. #OldFartsWalking.

A beautiful day for #ZombieCroquet! It's #GameWeek for the Missouri S&T #HumansVsZombies and they took advantage of a gorgeous day and an expansive lawn to set up a fun and challenging croquet course. Of course I had to try it out and show them how to play the old school way.

If you are attending #NABT in St Louis or #ASMCUE in San Antonio don't miss our posters on teaching about Fanny Hesse and other overlooked key figures in #STEM
It was an honor to get to share the story of #FannyHesse at #ASMicrobe and being on the exact day of the 175th anniversary of her birth was icing on the cake (agar in the Petri dish 😀?) Thanks to #Corrado_Nai and #CHOMA for the opportunity.
