The Rutgers Department of Biochemistry and Microbiology had an amazingly great day on April 28th. The booth was staffed by students and faculty all day and had lines of people waiting to learn more about the State Microbe and microbiology in general. State Microbe T shirts were very popular. Thank you to everyone who participated!
We collected nearly 400 signatures on a petition to our legislators in support of A3650 and S1729, the legislation that designates Streptomyces griseus as the New Jersey State Microbe.
