Scientists Discover the Largest Bacteria Ever Seen

Researchers found bacterial cells so large they are easily visible to the naked eye, challenging ideas about how large microbes can get.

The Department of Energy just announced a new $56M initiative to support training and research opportunities for students and staff at HBCUs and other MSIs in collaboration with DOE-funded National Labs and facilities (such as @berkeleylab or @jgi)

If you are at an HBCU, HSI, AANAPISI, or other minority-serving institution, consider attending one of the upcoming webinars to find out more.
