Micritas 🤝 Get the work done Preparation of kits for Micromundo 🌍 for the second session on 04/13/2023 .🔬

The second session of MicroMundo 🌍 was held last Thursday where the samples were processed, which led the students to contact some laboratory techniques 🔬 for the first time and successfully execute them!!😇

✨✨✨ 3rd session at Cristelo high school - another mission accomplished for the team of our 6 Micritas🫡! Soil samples with a lot of diversity of colonies 🧫 that were tested today - will we be able to find bacteria with antimicrobial activity? We'll find out next week 🤞...!

Micromundo aimed to spread knowledge in the area of microbiology to school students, while forming ties between MicriTAs and MicriCEs. Having reached the end of the session 4, we would like to thank all the students for their collaboration, and especially professora Cátia Santos!

👏We are celebrating the #InternationalMicroorganismDay on September 18 in IUCS Cespu_Ensino together with university and school students, do not miss it 👇 📌Registration link: cespu.pt/noticias-e-eve… International Microorganism Day TOXRUN

👏 The 2nd edition of the MicroMundo project is launched! Our 17 enthusiastic Micritas had the theoretical-practical training and we are looking forward going to schools! Will we discover a potential new antibiotic this year? 🦠 Cespu_Ensino TOXRUN

👏The first MicroMundo@IUCS_CESPU group has already started at Cristelo Secondary School EBS Cristelo TEIP with a 12th grade class and Prof Raquel Fernandes. We're looking forward to collecting the soil samples to process at the next session! 🦠 TOXRUN Cespu_Ensino

Session 2 of the MicroMundo@IUCS_CESPU for the first team acting in the 12th grade of the EBS Cristelo TEIP School is done! We processed soils from different locations and we're looking forward to exploring the biodiversity we're going to find, stay tunned! Cespu_Ensino TOXRUN

📌Today we had the 1st session of MicroMundo@IUCS_CESPU team 1 acting in the 9th grade of the Cristelo TEIP School! Great enthusiasm between schoolchildren and our university students towards the potential discovery of a new antimicrobial! 💊 Follow us! Cespu_Ensino TOXRUN

👏Yesterday we had the 3rd session of Team 2 at the EBS Cristelo TEIP School! We recorded the biodiversity found in soils collected by the school students and tested several colonies through an antibiosis assay against clinically relevant bacteria! Cespu_Ensino TOXRUN

📌Today we had the 2nd session where we processed the soil samples collected by the students of the EBS Cristelo TEIP School! So good to see so much enthusiasm, with some of the 9th graders' eyes shining and showing great interest in science! Cespu_Ensino TOXRUN

👏On this Earth Day, we had the 3rd session of MicroMundo where we observed the cultural growth of our soils - we performed antibiosis assay and are looking forward to the results! 🦠 Cespu_Ensino TOXRUN

📣 The 4th and final session of MicroMundo at the EBS Cristelo TEIP School is done for the 9th and 12th grade classes! 👉 Inhibition edges with promising bacteria 💊, Gram stains, diplomas, lots of enthusiasm and the promise to return next year! Cespu_Ensino TOXRUN

🎉We started the theoretical training of our incredible MicriTAs, taking the 1st step towards a new learning cycle. We will continue next year with laboratory training preparing the activities for school students. Happy Holidays! 🎅 Cespu_Ensino TOXRUN UCIBIO

We closed the 3rd edition of MicroMundo with 29 volunteers from Biomedical, Forensics, Nutrition, Veterinary & Pharmaceutical Sciences! 📺 Featured in Jornal de Notícias: jn.pt/482139857/alun… Can’t wait for next year - let’s keep fighting #AntimicrobialResistance together! 💊
