Who would've known that the invasive #spottedlanternfly could host #wolbachia? 🪰🦠 Student research The Pingry School discovered lanternflies that are Wolbachia (+) and 16S sequences are available in the Wolbachia Project Database! #WolbachiaWatch #STEM wolbachiaprojectdb.org/search?title_s…

It's so great to see students exploring arthropod diversity first-hand through our lab series.🪲📷 We can't wait to see what they find! #WolbachiaWatch #Stemeducation #Studentdiscovery #Microbiology #entomology

It is so rewarding when we have the opportunity to connect with students and share some of our knowledge and experience with the next generation of scientists! 🧑‍🔬🥼🦟 #WolbachiaProject #STEMeducation #BioTech #Pipettes #Studentdiscovery

Watch out Biotech. We’re starting them early Discover the Microbes Within! Wolbachia Project

We had a wonderful time engaging with PA educators and PA Department of Education last week at the 2024 Integrated Learning Conference here @Penn_State! 📚 We are excited to see how the #biotech industry grows in PA and how the connections we made can provide opportunities for #CTE students.

📢Check out our new YouTube video, produced by Dina Constantinides, giving an overview of the Wolbachia Project and it's impacts for #STEMeducation and #Wolbachia research across the globe! 🌎🦟 youtube.com/watch?v=ssrhGc…

🧬Check out this article by The Scientist beautifully summarizing the transformative impact of the #WolbachiaProject for #STEMeducation!

"We did this lab with the best care and followed every step to the T, so I believe our results are definitely true." -Student at Kohler High School in WI. Check out their beautiful gels! Great use of controls.🪰📷#StudentDiscovery #Wolbachia wolbachiaprojectdb.org/dbpost/13865

@kuhnbobio MiniOne® Systems Discover the Microbes Within! Wolbachia Project So glad we got positive results! This lab had many challenges (so many supplies needed & components taking longer than a class period). But we got DNA bands for Wolbachia & bands for a good number of insects. So I am glad we did this lab! 🙂

Imagine the world a century ago. No smartphones, no jet planes, no Wolbachia (!) It was a world vastly different. A century of discoveries for #Wolbachia is a testament to the "Mother of All Microbes". Happy Birthday to the worldwide Wolbachia. Cake idea by ingenious Rupinder Kaur, PhD.

🎉This week we are celebrating the 100th Birthday of our favorite endosymbiont, #Wolbachia pipientis! Check out this amazing article by The Scientist about Wolbachia's discovery and journey through research: the-scientist.com/wolbachia-turn…

Happy Holidays from Wolbachia Project! ❄️☃️🦟 As you can see, we had way too much fun with BioRender

🎇Happy New Year from the #Wolbachia Project! Thanks to our inspirational partners in education, over 4,000 students experienced the thrill of #discovery in Fall 2024! 🐞🪳🦋 🪲🦗 A HUGE thanks to QIAGEN for providing 95 DNA extraction kits to classrooms this year! 🤯

Thank you Discover the Microbes Within! Wolbachia Project and QIAGEN for all of your support. I hope many more classrooms can explore Wolbachia science in 2025!

Students BCTC did an outstanding job determining whether #insects they collected using banana and vinegar traps were infected with #Wolbachia! 🐝🦗🦠 Check out some of their beautiful photos and gels here: wolbachiaprojectdb.org/group/bluegras… #WolbachiaWatch #STEMeducation
