Drs Warhol and Eveleigh at Eagleton Workshop

John Warhol and Doug Eveleigh participated in the Scientists in Politics workshop at the Eagleton Institute on Nov 29. It was a great networking experience and we were able to share our experience with getting a State Microbe with the other attendees. Great news is that now Chancellor Molloy has his own  Periodic Table of Microbes poster for his office wall!

75th anniversary of streptomycin is coming up. Get ready for a celebration!

Please read my amazing microbiology book:

“It was really fascinating to me as a scientist. I look at it and I'm like, ‘Yeah, that's a well-crafted, frighteningly sophisticated and precise scientific plan that they executed on a scale that I couldn't have imagined trying to put together.’”

“I try to imagine myself walking through Central Park and then seeing this landscape of ships, and then smack-dab in the middle of this zone is this hulking crater that stares at you like the Eye of Sauron. It just looks like this massive dent that some Marvel superhero has just punched into the planet.”

In 1946, residents of Bikini Atoll were “temporarily" evacuated for the US gov’t to conduct >100 nuclear tests.

The fallout means they can never return.

We talked w/ Art Trembanis about those tests, radioactive water, a battleship graveyard, & more

As much as Prosanta Chakrabarty loves his job as an ichthyology professor, his favorite part of the job is making connections while doing fieldwork around the world. We talked to Prosanta about his career in our latest Sci & Tell episode: https://sciandtell.org/episode/prosanta-chakrabarty-pushing-for-global-fish-science/ #SciComm #Podcast #SciPol #SciAndTell

Do you know a space botanist? That’s right. SPACE. BOTANIST. We do. And…he just happens to have experience in moving to a different continent and finding a job there with all the associated challenges. For the 2nd Sci & Tell episode of Third Pod from the Sun, the team chatted w/ Voices for Science Advocate Rafael Loureiro of Winston Salem State University all about his career, plants, space, teaching, & more! http://ow.ly/7PPm50x7F5U
