@microbemiller.bsky.social and @pymig.bsky.social sit down with Janet Rogers, a cornerstone of the DNA Protein Core Facility at Oklahoma State University. Janet has helped sequence untold numbers of samples, ensuring that generations of scientists at OSU always got the best data possible.

In the Great Anoxic Showdown: two legends enter (@microbemiller.bsky.social and @pymig.bsky.social), but only one will ultimately stand victorious. Today @hexamergraphics.bsky.social has us attempting to pour off water whilst blindfolded.

They say size doesn’t matter … but your aseptic zone disagrees

We've taken a brief break from anaerobes to focus on something far more complex… Your love life. Don’t worry—we’re highly qualified: 🧪 Scientists by day 🎙️ Podcasters by night ❤️ Relationship experts… effective immediately Stay tuned. Because nothing says romance like … p < 0.05.

Does anyone else feel this passionate about rumen fluid? ... Or is it just us? @hexamergraphics.bsky.social @pymig.bsky.social @microbemiller.bsky.social

If you’re in need of slightly more @lifeunculturable.bsky.social content, head on over to our instagram and check out what we’ve been doing. It’s been ‘reely’ fun.

Over the next few days, we’re pivoting to something far more important than anaerobes ... Don’t worry, we’re highly qualified: 🧪 Scientists by day 🎙️ Podcasters by night ❤️ Relationship experts … starting now Stay tuned. Your love life is about to become … statistically significant.

@hexamergraphics.bsky.social came up with a series of rather difficult 'lab skills' for @pymig.bsky.social and @microbemiller.bsky.social to tackle blindfolded in the lab. Part 1/4 ... may the best postdoc win. www.youtube.com/shorts/Aezi1...

You all voted and decided that consuming 'questionable' items was on the menu. Naturally, the sweet nectar of anoxic life was the only thing that made sense to us. You all autoclave your rumen fluid, right? ..... asking for @hexamergraphics.bsky.social. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQiZ...

@pymig.bsky.social, @hexamergraphics.bsky.social , and @microbemiller.bsky.social are filming some completely 'safe', highly 'professional' displays of scientific excellence. The winter Olympics may be over, but the blindfolded lab skills are just beginning. P.S. Don't drink the rumen fluid.

You can all thank @hexamergraphics.bsky.social for all of our recent ‘Road Trippin' content. Turn in to our latest episode for a look at the slightly more chaotic, human sides of @pymig.bsky.social and @microbemiller.bsky.social.

No science, no media production talk - today, it's all about road trips and childhood memories. This episode was recorded in a coffee shop, and the occasional bark of the coffee shop dog, Hope! And if you're in Winslow, Arizona, check out MOJO Coffee Roasting Co. & Cafe (not sponsored)!
