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?

Exciting News!!! I am beyond proud to announce several collaborations coming our way involving other liked-minded communities run by individuals that are as equally enthusiatic about sharing their knowledge and passion for all things biology!!! Our first wonderful collaborator is Ms. Deidonra Chalwell and her Microbiology Community Community Description: "🧫 Microbiology with Dede is a microbiology study community focused on helping ASCP, AMT, and other healthcare/science students prepare for their exams while making microbiology easier to understand through organism breakdowns, study discussions, recall questions, ASCP (M) review content, and interactive learning in a supportive and collaborative environment." Second is Mr. Shahroze Abbas and his Community focusing on Bioinformatics Community Description: "The Bioinformatics Skool is a community focused on teaching biologists and early career bioinformaticians data science and programming foundations while applying these skills towards life science problems. Members will start by understanding different workspace options and how to manage tedious installations then move towards building analysis workflows for singlecell datasets. This includes multi-modality analysis for RNA, ATAC and proteomics. More to come including spatial analysis and snakemake for workflow design." These are both amazing and highly educated individuals with extensive experience in their respective fields. Please check out and join their communities, which I have linked above. Stay tuned for collaborative projects together that will highlight THE real-world overlap between our three seemingly separate areas of study :)!!!
