A group of three Tiny Earth Partner Instructors stand in a lab observing and pointing at a screen plate to find a zone of inhibition. A woman is on the left with a man in the middle and a man on the right side. They all wear gloves, safety glasses, and lab coats.
A student crouches in a field, collecting soil samples. She holds a collection tube and spatula. She is wearing blue jeans and a yellow long sleeve shirt.
In a lab setting, a student is adding distilled water to a microscope slide for a gram stain. She wears blue gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat.
A student is collecting soil samples from a corn field. The corn stalks are young enough that the woman can collect soil from between the plants. She also has a clipboard with notes, a pencil, and a ruler.
Tiny Earth celebrates the annual World Soil Day today as we search for more antibiotics from soil bacteria. Input your soil data into the Tiny Earth database to help build a dataset on soil environments and antibiotic activity!

The National Institute of Scientific Teaching (NIST) held a conference on scientific teaching to build community and advance evidence-based teaching practices.
Tiny Earth Founder Jo Handelsman and Tiny Earth Executive Director Sarah Miller presented on the origins of scientific teaching.
Congratulations and welcome to the 24 new TEPIs who joined our Tiny Earth network through last weekβs training! We are excited to see what's next for these TEPIs as they continue their Tiny Earth journey.

Ten instructors from three countries participated in Canadaβs first TEPI training at Carleton University in Ottawa where they learned how to implement the Tiny Earth research flow and scientific teaching principles. Welcome to the Tiny Earth community!
