TMI founder Dr. Anne Madden presents to Maine sixth graders at ME Bioscience Day
Anne A. Madden, Ph.D., Founder of The Microbe Institute, presented to over 120 6th graders in the fringe rural community of Gray-New Gloucester, Maine (MSAD15) as part of ME Bioscience Day—a day for “inspiring a new generation of scientists through hands-on education & industry connections,” organized by Bioscience Association of Maine. The students learned about Dr. Madden’s career in science, and her work exploring the microbial cosmos for beneficial microbes. The students then participated in a new STEAM activity developed by TMI to foster wonder and creativity (Project page coming soon!) Thanks to Bioscience Association of Maine and our in-kind supporter, Giantmicrobes for making these activities a huge success!
