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 :)!!!

Hey Science Peeps, First and foremost I would like to thank all of you in the community, particularly @Kenneth Reese and @Federico Bresciani , who provided their insightful feedback on my previous post and also directly to me via my DMs. This will always be appreciated and please keep it up. After some consideration, I have decided to allow access to all current course material within the "Classroom" free and available to all members!!! Considering how this community is still in the very early stages of development, I feel it would be best to not "gatekeep" anything at least for the time being. I am also brainstorming more ways for us to interact with each other either through more informative and interactive posts and also through video calls/meetings where we can actually have the chance to meet one another. So stay tuned for all of that and more contents coming soon! :)
