Tiny Earth Partner Instructors (TEPIs): Help build resources for Tiny Earth’s response to COVID-19 by signing up to help review and develop online training materials, course materials, and science protocols.
In response to the coronavirus pandemic, we have curated sources to help pivot to online instruction.
Digital Labs and Activities
Tiny Earth is a network of instructors and students focused on
studentsourcing antibiotic discovery from soil.
The challenges are huge…
Today we are fighting a shortage of effective antibiotics as “superbugs” evolve resistance to our most-used antibiotics. Simultaneously, we face a shortage of science trainees as unengaging introductory science courses fail to retain some of the best and brightest students in STEM fields.
but the solutions start tiny.
Unearthing new antibiotic-producing microbes from the soil can address a worldwide health threat while inspiring students to pursue careers in science. Tiny Earth brings the potential for global impact through original laboratory and field research conducted in introductory courses.
