Can cookies describe what a doctor is looking for in a CBC, complete blood cell count? With the capable artistic hands of Ms. Humble from Not So Humble Pie and my cell biology knowledge, they can! Learn about the formed elements of blood: red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (lymphocytes, monocytes, basophils, eosinophils, neutrophils) and platelets in a series of videos that begins here!
During my time as a laboratory teaching specialist with the Department of Bioengineering at the University of Illinois, I taught cell biology and tissue engineering. An important aspect of that field is knowing the capabilities of stem cells and their uses in regenerative medicine. Since the field is not always clear to the lay public and because it is a topic full of controversy, I accepted an invitation from Parkland College’s World of Science lectures to speak with the public about what stem cells are, the history of the science of stem cells and some of the major scientific findings.
Once upon a time, youtube did not allow you to upload very long videos, so my hour long talk became 11 separate videos.
My Little Black Book of Scientists I Love
On a very warm and muggy July 30, 2010, outside of Krannert Theater on the U of Illinois campus, Joanne gave a live presentation to an audience of 400 people for the Champaign-Urbana Pecha Kucha 20 slides 20 seconds each!
I was lucky to present all of this science after the beer break, where people may have imbibed a bit, making them a bit more receptive to all of the science and scientists I presented. It was great fun!
