Discover the Microbes Within! The Wolbachia Project
@wolbachiaproj.bsky.social
Biodiversity, symbiosis, evolution, & biotech labs that empower real-world science and discovery in students worldwide. See link below for information. https://linktr.ee/WolbachiaProject
Students at Bluegrass Community & Technical College did an outstanding job determining whether #insects they collected using banana and vinegar traps were infected with #Wolbachia! 🐝🦗🦠 Check out some of their beautiful photos and gels here: wolbachiaprojectdb.org/group/bluegr... #WolbachiaWatch
🎇Happy New Year from the #WolbachiaProject! Thanks to our inspirational partners in education, over 4,000 students experienced the thrill of #discovery in Fall 2024! 🐞🪳🦋 🪲🦗 A HUGE thanks to @qiagen.bsky.social for providing 95 DNA extraction kits to classrooms this year! 🤯
Happy Holidays from the #WolbachiaProject! ☃️ ❄️ 🦟 As you can see, we had way too much fun with @biorender.bsky.social
🎉This week we are celebrating the 100th Birthday of our favorite endosymbiont, #Wolbachia pipientis! Check out this amazing article by The Scientist about Wolbachia's discovery and journey through research: www.the-scientist.com/wolbachia-tu...
Wolbachia Turns 100: The Journey of a Triumphant Endosymbiont
In a century, Wolbachia has gone from a master reproductive manipulator to a partner in the fight against pathogens, exemplifying how a microbe can shape hosts and diseases.

We continue to be amazed by the ingenuity of our teaching partners: The Wolbachia Project of bug splatter! 🚗🪰🚐🐞 Congrats to @brewerbiology.bsky.social and student researchers!
Rebecca Brewer@brewerbiology.bsky.social · 2y agoThanks to @wolbachiaproj.bsky.social & @minionesystems.bsky.social for their support of my AP Bio students conducting science research to determine if bug splatter contains parasitic Wolbachia bacteria. 🦠🐜🐝🐛 Check out the students' work! tinyurl.com/2h68yufn
👨🔬Check out these impressive gels showing Wolbachia positive mosquitos from Hawaii community college! #Wolbachiawatch #StudentResearch 🦟🦠 wolbachiaprojectdb.org/group/hawaii...
"We did this lab with the best care and followed every step to the T, so I believe our results are definitely true." -Student at Kohler High School in WI. Check out their beautiful gels! Great use of controls.🪰📷 #StudentDiscovery #Wolbachia wolbachiaprojectdb.org/dbpost/13865
Watch out biotechnology programs and companies. The next generation is gaining pre-college skills, and we're already receiving new requests for schools to implement @wolbachiaproj.bsky.social since we posted this video introduction last week. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssrh...
