Hey, Fellow Bio Nerds!!! I apologize for the long hiatus and absence from the community as of late. If you know me in real life, I often say that life gets in the way of life, and that has never been truer than right now. For the sake of my own bandwidth and well-being, I will unfortunately be stepping away from this community, but only TEMPORARILY! I cannot emphasize enough how much I have appreciated the resounding support from all of the community members, and in order to ensure that I am providing all of you with only the highest quality biology content, I thought it best to move forward with this decision. Hopefully, we can get this ball rolling again sooner rather than later, but for now, instead of saying "Goodbye," I will simply say "See ya' later!" Remember to keep it weird, pet your local cats whenever you get the chance, and, like a true scientist, always be curious about the world around you :)!

Hey Fellow Science Peeps!!! Our community's first-ever collaboration video is officially up and running under the "Collaboration" course within the Classroom tab! Feel free to check it out, and don't forget to post here in the community any comments, questions, concerns, or compliments that come to mind, especially regarding future video topics, and ways to improve any and all aspects of the community. Today's video, titled 16S rRNA Sequencing for Bacterial Identification, is in collaboration with the amazing @Deiondra Chalwell, a clinical microbiologist and fellow Skooler with her own community, Microbiology with Dede. Don't forget to check out and join her fascinating community as well! Update: It came to my attention that some of my courses may have still been unavailable to the general community, so I changed some settings, and now hopefully everything is free for you all to watch as you please. If not, please let me know ASAP :)

Hey Fellow Science Peeps! After a long hiatus (so sorry, I got lost along the path of life), I am back and with a new video describing your first tool in the toolbox when it comes to troubleshooting difficult PCRs, Touchdown PCR!!! Enjoy and please let me know what you think regarding this video, previous ones, and what you all would like to see next :)

One thing I’ve always found fascinating about biology is how connected everything really is 👀 A lot of people think microbiology, molecular biology, genetics, immunology, etc. are all completely separate topics… …but once you start studying deeper, you realize they overlap constantly 🔬

Hey everyone! Welcome to my little corner of the internet where I will be passing down my knowledge to any and everyone who is even remotely interested in learning about the fascinating world of molecular and cellular biology. As I continue to create and roll out new content, please feel free to comment on this post with a few key pieces of information: 1) Introduce yourself (What sound do we make to get your atttention? i.e. your name). 2) Share a cool or funny fact about yourself or the world in general. 3) What peeked your interest, if anything, in this nerdy stuff? 4) If you're a huge animal lover like I am go ahead and share a pic of your furry baby! Oh, and if you already have a few ideas racing around inside your skull about topics you potentially like see discussed also feel free to drop those in the comments below as well :). Let's get started shall we?
