We're BACK! Join us post-snowpocalypse as we dive into E. coli, the workhorse of every research lab.  Come find out how it was discovered, the way humans end up with E. coli when we are born, why its such a great and safe organism to use in lab, how fast they actually grow and how bacteria is responsible for one of the worst attacks on US soil (and no, its not the one you're thinking of).  We also interview a guest--our classmate Ryan Otto--about his experience working with E. coli in his lab.

Woman in Science featured: Gertrude Elion (https://www.nobelprize.org/womenwhochangedscience/stories/gertrude-elion)

In our third episode we asked you, our colleges and peers, to ask your friends or family what it is you do in lab? Here is a collection of all the wonderful responses your loved ones gave.  It was fascinating to find out what we tend to focus on when telling people about our research and what they pick up on.
