A much better photo of all the great #AgarArt from last week! Also, a reminder that I have plenty of material left over is anyone in Rolla want's to make agar art this week. A fun group activity!

The first photos from last night's #AgarArt event. Some very nice #BioluminescentArt. The #ChromoproteinArt is looking good too but needs a few days for the colors to fully develop. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to make living art.

Nice turnout for our end of semester #AgarArt event. Watch this space for photos of their masterpieces. Couldn't make it? Keep your eyes out for more #AgarArt events Spring semester. #MissouriS&TBiology #MissouriS&T

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.

Gave a presentation for the Midwest STEM Conference. Good fun introducing the awesome @biobuilder.bsky.social curriculum and the new #BioTechBuilder program. Excited to bring biotech workforce development to rural Missouri. Bonus opportunity to create #AgarArt

Had fun doing an #AgarArt session for a colleague's summer camp. Made a jumbo plate version of their camp logo. Turned out pretty well if I say so myself. Also made #Bactographs of their mission patches. I'll post their work this weekend after my conference. #MissouriSandT @ASMicrobiology.org
