I always love the intense focus students have when loading gels.

Newest rumor/truth a student has said abouy me- "that's the teacher spreading biotech like a cult" 😊

Visited a junior high and saw these beauties were in the hall 💛

My student wanted an explosion, so the color change was slightly anticlimactic. But still one of my favorite labs, coupled with modeling and discussion, such a good way to introduce electrophoresis.

It's registration time so we had biology classes visit today. Love watching my students teach others.

Our art is growing up real nice

Painting with bacteria. Science + Art ❤

First day of FINALS

My students always have great timing. This year the students have a lot on their shoulders and that weighs on us teachers, especially at the end of semester. Got this email from a past student and it made my heart smile.

As a science teacher I constantly speak of data, analysis and conclusion, this carries into my daily life. Today's data, no CMas cards yet. Normally we start receiving cards in November and it's December 13th. Conclusion- the ripples of 2020 are here, we are hurting. Sending love

I love when the students become the teachers. The Biotech students explaining microbio and genetic engineering basics to the Criminology classes today.

We love lab, yes we do, we love lab, how 'bout you?

The @BioRadEducation pGlo kit never disappoints 💚🧫🦠

Labbin'

Today was Koa's first day on campus as an official therapy dog with @mpsaz Pawsitive Peers program. It was hard too tell who enjoyed it more, Koa or everyone who loved on her.

Ok Nerd Friends, its time to play name that lab!

#Grateful My Son, Samuel, you are my Reason, always & forever. My Mom, you are the ultimate example of patience and piety. My BFF & Cousin, you have graciously become my crouch. My Koa, your loyalty, trust and love is unmatched. My Students, you are my hope. THANK YOU

Well this certainly filled my cup, a HANDWRITTEN letter from a past student in my mailbox at work today.
