Queering Science Writing: Bringing Marginalized Perspectives to the Mainstream

Creator:: Goodfriend, Olivia F.
Abstract:: Within the field of science communication, the voices, perspectives, and experiences of the LGBTQ+ community have long been kept at the margins. This has led to a gap in material that recognizes queer individuals and communities as audiences, communicators, and stakeholders in STEM. I address this gap by generating a...

A broad-spectrum cloning vector that exists as both an integrated element and a free plasmid in Chlamydia trachomatis

Creator:: Garvin, Lotisha, Vande Voorde, Rebecca, Dickinson, Mary, Carrell, Steven, Hybiske, Kevin, and Rockey, Daniel
Abstract:: Plasmid transformation of chlamydiae has created new opportunities to investigate host–microbe interactions during chlamydial infections; however, there are still limitations. Plasmid transformation requires a replicon derived from the native Chlamydia plasmid, and these transformations are species-specific. We explored the utility of a broad host-range plasmid, pBBR1MCS-4, to transform chlamydiae, with...
