Welcome!
I am Mark O. Martin, an associate professor of biology at a small liberal arts institution in the Pacific Northwest, and I am an unrepentant Microbial Supremacist. If you are visiting, you must be micro-curious. Please check out my blog on microbiology, education, and teaching at a small liberal arts institution at www.microbesrule.blogspot.com !
So...you probably have taken microbiology or are interested in it. You have learned that the microbial world is larger, more diverse, and much more interesting than you ever expected. Besides, there are LOTS more of them than there are of us!
Give in to your Inner Microbe and celebrate prokaryotic pride! You are MostlyMicrobial, and you should Embrace the Microbe!
