Latest story from our lab! I've been so fortunate to be able to integrate two passions - biomedical research and STEM outreach. Huge shoutout to the wonderful collaborators on this project including scientists, volunteers, and partners at @BGCChi.
New work from our lab: @JeanieTan10 leads a partnership with middle school students from the Boys & Girls Club Chicago @BGCChi to discover new bioactive natural products. High-end NP discovery and outreach can coexist!

@WritesofMurph just told a super cool story about middle schoolers doing antibiotic discovery from bacteria isolated from soil (or in one case, goose poop) @UICPharm. Nice work! 💩 🦠 #ICNPR2024

Meet grad student scholar, Jin Yi (Jeanie) Tan (2nd year doctoral student @UICPharm)! She is focused on developing an “environment to bioassay” antibiotic discovery approach while collaborating with @BGCChi. Learn more about her work at the link in our bio! #SeaGrantFunded
ALT Jeanie leans over a railing at a beach. The person is wearing a yellow hat and yellow shirt and has long dark hair. The water is calm.

So thrilled to see my Opinion piece for @nytopinion in @nytimes print edition today!
Here's an unpaywalled link to the online version with great animations and graphics by Gus Wezerek and Timo Lenzen.
Thank you @acsifferlin & @jashkenas for inviting me.
