She has taught Microbiology online for the past five years using a kit from https://www.holscience.com/lab-kits/ in addition to seven years of experience teaching online labs in general biology and histology.

Mandy Hunter spends the week exploring bench top fermenters, bacteria that grow beneath your nails, chromatography, and still has time to tell us about a January 30th Marrow Registery Drive at MATC!

What a busy, busy start to the semester and the New Year! This semester I have Chromatography, Bioprocess Technology, Applied Microbiology and Chemistry for Biotechnology. No more seven credit semesters for me! But I suppose I can afford a full course load now that I'm not engaging in 3 a.m. stare downs like this anymore:
