In the debut episode of our podcast, Erika Espinosa-Ortiz gives a insightful overview of the impact (and potential!) of fungal-based biofilms, including why #NASA is eying fungi to aid in long-term space travel. #biofilmfirst rss.com/podcasts/biofilmfirs… via @rss

How can microbes like those that form kidney stones be harnessed to build practical materials? The CBE's own Erika Espinosa-Ortiz will discuss how fungi and bacteria can be engineered to create materials that can substitute for cement. #BiofilmFirst bit.ly/3Lp1vnn

Here’s for example a raw data. The second read is the one with a peptide, and it shows ~5 re-reads! Isn’t that totally awesome…? #Iloveit 7/x

Regression can only tell you so much! We show the advantage of a Bayesian approach over non-linear regression when analyzing experimental data to estimate kinetic parameters in a mathematical model of urea consumption by E. coli biofilms. #BiofilmFirst bit.ly/3vwkbKf

In 1990, the #NSF awarded #MontanaState a $7.5 million ERC grant to launch the Center for Interfacial Microbial Process Engineering, later to be known as the CBE--the worlds first, largest, and best-known biofilm research center. #CBEfirst

In my and my laboratory's 20 or so year experience, neither place of education, origin, gender, belief system or anything related determines intellect, creativity or quality of education. It is the opportunity given to and assumed by the teachers and learners

We are hiring 1-2 PhD students to join our team at @montanastate @Center4Biofilm. We are working to use use microbes to manufacture re-usable and recyclable building materials. Please share widely! #materialsscience #microbiology #phdpositions
