Two Northeast Wisconsin Technical College (NWTC) students made a groundbreaking discovery of a new antibiotic in the soil at Pamperin Park in Howard, WI. This research is part of the Tiny Earth project, a global network of instructors and students committed to uncovering novel antibiotics from soil microorganisms.
Students from areas across the state and nation will present their findings at the Tiny Earth in Titletown research symposium in the Lambeau Field Atrium on Monday, December 11, 2023. The event will showcase the collaborative and innovative efforts of students across the state, working together to mitigate the global public health crisis of antibiotic resistance. ““It’s a great opportunity to showcase the value of partnerships to mitigate large problems to a wide audience,” says UW-Green Bay Biology Prof. Brian Merkel, teacher of the course at UW-Green Bay and chair of the event.
