Happy International Microorganisms Day! Tiny but mighty microbes play a huge role in the research Tiny Earth students and instructors conduct every day. We’re excited to see the discoveries they will make this fall!

Tiny Earth had a blast at the Science Expeditions Campus Open House (@sciencewiscedu) this past weekend! Visitors got to identify soil by feel, view soil (including bacteria!) under a microscope, and take a look at antimicrobial resistance from plates with bacterial growth.
