Bacterial biofilms dominate microbial life; however, their evolutionary genetics remain
incompletely understood. Extensive replication of biofilm selection experiments by
secondary school students can...
Sharing the most significant work from my group, led by the @evolvingstem.bsky.social team.
Come for the discoveries of how Pseudomonas adapts in biofilms, stay for the story of how they were discovered by thousands of young scientists in grades 9-12. 🧪🧫🧬🧵

We established a research-education partnership known as EvolvingSTEM that provides secondary school students the opportunity to conduct authentic research experiments centered on microbial evolution....
