Hi, I was really encouraged by your enthousiasm with my last post. The Antibiotics Game (Go Narrow) is now available for Apple useres - you can download it in the apple store (3.99 Euros) or send me a DM for a promo code (as long as they last).

I am still looking for testers for the Android version. It is a closed testing, starts when I have at least 12 people in the testing group and then lasts for 14 days. It's a required step to launch the app on Android. The testing requires about 5 minutes engagement with the app daily for two weeks, trying different features. Your support would mean a lot!

Hi everyone! Is anyone in this group still using the battery-powered VITEK 2 DensiChek turbidity meter for McFarland standardization?

We are still using this model in our lab, but I’ve noticed that it consumes batteries quite quickly. The Panasonic batteries we use start to run low in less than 3 months.

Has anyone else experienced the same issue? What brand of batteries are you using, and how long do they typically last? I’d appreciate it if you could share your experience. Thank you!

I'm going to be adding more bacteria to my microbiology game. If you let me know your favorite bacteria, I'll add it to my list to add to the game. Feel free to suggest a name (should be a nod to something about the bacteria or their scientific name) and a favorite color.

I'm also open to any other feedback on the game. 🧫

hi folks! i'm dipping my toes into microbiology for my senior thesis (as a graphic designer..) and i'm trying to look for tardigrades out in the wild. my sources say that just plucking moss and soaking it will do, but its been around 12 hours since ive started soaking it and there's nothing by teeny worms so far

any advice would be useful! science is Not my strongsuit, i'm doing this for the love of the game
