Series Details

About

Hi there! This series is going to be all about one of my favorite topics (and my soon-to-be major), microbiology! Each session, we'll be doing a deep dive into a new microorganism and it's biology: what kind of microorganism it is, where it exists, its role in its habitat, and even how it interacts with us.

These are just meant to be fun, exploratory sessions, not a series on general microbiology, so no past knowledge is really needed. I can answer any general biology questions if they come up (in context with the microorganism, of course), but the main focus will be on whatever microscopic creature we're exploring during a given session!

If you like microbiology, learning about new species, or just learning about the things we don't get to see much in our everyday lives, then this series is for you!

Hope to see you there!

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

You can show up to whichever sessions you feel like, though I do recommend showing up to all of them to get the full experience!

About the Tutor

Hi, I'm Lily (any pronouns), and I'm a university freshman! I'm from Massachusetts, lived in Washington for a few years, and now I'm back for university. My favorite subjects are any science, but especially biology, math, and languages. Some of my other interests are drawing, painting, video games, programming, and D&D.
