Across three days (February 13 – 15), the UGA Griffin Campus hosted 270 seventh-graders from Pike County Middle School, who had the opportunity to hear from a number of researchers and also take a tour of the microbiology teaching lab. During the tour for the teaching lab, Dr. Oliver Shey Njila, Lecturer in Microbiology, introduced students to microbiology as a discipline and its applications in public health, the food industry, agriculture, biotechnology, and other areas. He also highlighted various career opportunities available to graduates of our microbiology program.

A mock teaching lecture centered on “Evolution of Antibiotic Resistance” A lecture will be presented at a level appropriate for undergraduate students with limited-to-no previous background in biology. The lecture, suitable for 30–40-minute course period, will target students who would not be pursuing a biology-based degree at UGA. After the mock lecture, there will be a 15–25-minute presentation describing the teaching approach, lecture/course design, and the application of evidence-based teaching methods.
