Students
Welcome, Tiny Earthing! Whether you are here during a semester you are enrolled in a Tiny Earth course or at another time, we welcome you into the network of more than 14,000 students per year working together to address the dwindling supply of antibiotics. We hope you find the course inspiring and that you can bring your own personal flair to science and research.
There are many ways to be involved during the semester, such as social media campaigns to raise awareness about antibiotic resistance and international symposia where you can present your Tiny Earth research to other Tiny Earth students around the world.

Research Presentation Guidelines for Symposia
Guidelines for student research presentations at virtual Tiny Earth Symposia:
- Plan to share a research poster as one slide during your 5-minute presentation
- For your poster image, be sure the text is large enough to be read on a digital screen. Limit the content to the key figures and text needed.
- During your 5-minute presentation, be prepared to show the data on your poster and address the following prompts:
- Summarize your project: What did you do? What did you discover that is new? What is unique about your project?
- What was your hypothesis? How did you test it?
- What methods did you use? What data did you collect?
- What conclusions did you draw?
- What are the future directions of this project?
- How have this project and conducting research impacted you as a student?
Feedback on the student presentations will be given by faculty and industry professionals.
