I wonder if these guys could be utilised to make glow-in-the-dark plasters. Probably not but it would be funky! Feel free to not answer if it's too personal but do you teach at all? I find your style so engaging and refreshing

That would be really fun! They're not too well studied since theres not much money in it sadly. But we can dream!

I don't teach, but I did volunteer as a tutor throughout college! I also got chosen to take part in a science writing fellowship which was focused on helping teach students science writing, reading the literature, etc. I also minored in science communications so there's that!

I'm so glad you find it engaging!!! Bacteria and archaea are my special interest so its easy to talk at length. Proper SciComm intimidates me a bit, but Just Posting about them is lower pressure. I just want to spread my love for these beings so often written off as pathogenic vermin.

I've been thinking about making a video where I talk through a bacteriology "iceberg" image I found online, but I worry about accuracy since I lack advanced degrees in the field.
