“Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more…” as the Biodiversity class conducts their rapid biological inventory of the Carolina Vegetation Modules in Elon Forest.. Shout out to Dr Vandermast for reflagging the modules yesterday so Dr Kingston wouldn’t wander too long before finding them!!

Oh, what a difference two years can make!! The first two photos show some first year Biodiversity students performing their first Gram stain on bacteria isolated and grown from their finger tips in Dr Kingston’s class. The last four photos are Dr Izzo and his junior and senior students in his 3000 level Microbiology class. They all look like medical doctors or professional microbiologists!!!
