We Got A State Microbe!
We did it, after 2 years of intense lobbying, hundreds of emails and letters from people throughout New Jersey and the world, the governor signed into law that the official State Microbe of New Jersey is Streptomyces griseus. We are the second state to have an Official Microbe, but the first to have an Official Bacterium! Thanks to everyone who participated!
This footage is from the news broadcast New Jersey Matters, where I talk about microbes and science with the host, Larry Mendte:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgvPK8_Pus8 Please take a look!
Cool tie, huh?

New Jersey State Microbe Approved by Assembly
On February 25, 2019 The NJ Assembly unanimously voted in favor of designating an Official State Microbe, Streptomyces griseus. This brings NJ one step closer to being the second state in the US (and the world) to have a symbolic microbe.
This action sequence shows me (seated) casting the vote for Assemblywoman Annette Quijano (standing) in the Assembly Chamber. Wow, that was cool, and an honor! ASW Quijano was the principal sponsor in the Assembly. The vote was 76 to zero.
Strep griseus produces streptomycin, the first broad spectrum antibiotic and the first significant antibiotic found in America. It was discovered in 1943 in New Brunswick, NJ
Talk about pressure “Don’t press the red button!”

NJ Microbe news coverage!
While Drs Eveleigh and Warhol were at the Eagleton workshop, the Rutgers Daily Targum (university newspaper) ran a cover story on our efforts to get an Official State Microbe for New Jersey! Great timing!

Drs Warhol and Eveleigh at Eagleton Workshop
John Warhol and Doug Eveleigh participated in the Scientists in Politics workshop at the Eagleton Institute on Nov 29. It was a great networking experience and we were able to share our experience with getting a State Microbe with the other attendees. Great news is that now Chancellor Molloy has his own Periodic Table of Microbes poster for his office wall!
75th anniversary of streptomycin is coming up. Get ready for a celebration!

Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks to all the people all over the world who actually read my book! I think that readers have purchased everywhere except Antarctica!
If you are a scientist you should read it because it presents science in a new and engaging way.
If you are a normal human, like most people on Earth, you should read it because it is actually fun and engaging, and you’ll learn new things painlessly!

This was a lot of fun. I spoke about he new book (The Small Guide to Small Things) and The New Jersey State Microbe. The audience had students, teachers, nurses, professors, and people from the general public.

Microbiology at the NJ Historical Commission Forum
Monmouth University hosted the NJ History Forum where I talked about the great history of New Jersey and Microbiology on behalf of my colleagues at Rutgers.
One presentation is titled The 75th Anniversary of the Discovery of Streptomycin (upcoming in 2019); the other is titled An Official New Jersey State Microbe! Streptomyces griseus. The revolutionary antibiotic streptomycin was discovered as a product the microbe Streptomyces griseus isolated from New Jersey soil.
Authors of the presentations are Douglas Eveleigh, Jeff Boyd, Jessica Lisa, Max Haagblom, and John Warhol.

University of the Sciences Presentation
Wow, my name in lights!
I had a great time talking to students and faculty at the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia on Oct 25. Topics were the New Jersey State Microbe, and my book, Dr Warhol’s Periodic Table of Microbes, The Small Guide to Small Things. Both topics hinge on effective science communication, a concept woven throughout the presentation. The skills and tactics needed to effectively interact with the nonscientific public, legislators, and scientists outside of your own discipline were all part of the lively seminar.
Thank you for inviting me, USciences!

The NJ State Microbe will be part of the New Jersey Historical Commission Forum on Popular Culture in New Jersey on November 2. A great opportunity to inform more people about microbiology. We’re also presenting on the 75th anniversary of streptomycin, the world’s first broad spectrum antibiotic, discovered right here in New Jersey.
No doubt, we’ll also talk about the Periodic Table of Microbes, The Small Guide to Small Things. https://tinyurl.com/Warhol-Small-Guide

New Jersey State Microbe Advocates
This is part of the team that worked hard on getting recognition for microbiology in New Jersey.
We are actually standing on a mosaic that depicts several of the Official State Symbols of New Jersey, only the Gold Finch shows in this photo. Everyone entering the State House sees these icons. Symbolism is important!

New Jersey State Microbe
This makes it official, we’re presenting at the Microbe 2018 annual meeting of the American Society for Microbiology.
It just struck me that this is an entirely new area of research and activism. Oregon was successful in getting a State Microbe, but I can’t get anyone there to return my phone calls or emails. I think I’m the only one doing this systematically.
Here’s a link to the presentation abstract http://www.abstractsonline.com/pp8/#!/4623/presentation/6277 Abstract embargo period is over, so it’s OK to post.
