Andrea Stewart's List: Microbiology

Traditional biology - the kind most of us studied in high school and college, and that many generations of scientists before us have pursued - has focused on identifying individual genes, proteins and cells, and studying their specific functions. Although extremely powerful, this approach alone has limitations in the extent to which it can shed insights into how organisms function as efficient machines constantly modulating their behavior to best suit their environment

The Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education (JMBE) is sponsored by the American Society for Microbiology (ASM; www.asm.org) a professional life science society with more than 43,000 members in the United States and abroad. JMBE publishes original, previously unpublished, peer-reviewed articles. The scientific scope of the journal is rooted in microbiology while branching out to biology. The educational scope of the journal is primarily undergraduate education; however, submissions that feature good pedagogy and good design used in kindergarten through high school education or graduate and professional (e.g., medical school) education will be considered for publication.
