Lisa,
Thanks for the slideshow. It was pretty gross. I always wondered what some of those pretty colours were. Seems we've grown some fairly nasty stuff over the years. Now the biology teacher wants to grow the bacteria first before showing them the slideshow. YUK!!

Hi Lisa

Could I please have a copy of the slide show too. nwate20@eq.edu.au


Thanks in advance.

Hi Lisa,

If its not too late could I please have a copy of your slide show email is: pgregor@goodshepherd.catholic.edu.au.

Also I am wondering if anyone knows what the protocol regarding growing bacteria is in Qld Schools, I have looked on Ed QLD site but can't find anything. Has anyone done gram staining, I have a teacher wanting to do this for Year 10's and I am a bit nervous about it!

Thanks
Pilar

there is an excellent protocol for Microbiology from Sheryl Hoffmann at Concordia College SA
Her email address is shoffmann@concordia.sa.edu.au however I think I downloaded it from the net.
I have a method for gram staining if you can give me your fax number.
we gram stain every year..it is easy

Thanks Judy that would be great - fax is 07 47435013

This might be the wrong place BUT:-
With "gram staining" it is for blood slides, and last I heard we are NOT allowed to use any blood products!
Bye the way welcome back everyone!

It's a stain for differentiating bacteria, (gram +ve and gram -ve) so it doesn't have to be blood products as far as I know.

Thanks Judy R for your gram staining recipe, it looks easy and not dangerous!, we will try this week.

Also thanks to Lisa for your slideshow, it certainly is gross but at the same time strangely entertaining and educational

Regards,
Pilar

The micro slide show sounds fantastic . is it possible for me to get a copy?

Hey Lisa,

I thought I'd asked for a copy of your (obviously excellent since everyone's buzzing about it!!) micro slide show but now I look here I can't see it - hmmm has all the MSDS & OH&S finally taken my memory grey matter???

Anyway, if you don't mind I would love a copy too especially as we're doing this next week!!!

Cheers Kel & much kudos

I am sure I read your post too Well all I can say is get used to it, weird things happen in science which may be the reason why we are all slightly mad

Welcome to chemtalk by the way, this is great for everything you will need, science wise or just to let off some steam!

Sass

My apologies Kel,
You did P.M. me, but I tend to read some posts etc. at work, (depending on time) then I send the slideshow from home (usually very late at night!!). I didn't read your P.M before I did the last batch of requests, so you're in tonights list!! Sorry, it's been a huge week, both at home and work, but rest assured, it will be sitting in your inbox Monday morning.
Cheers,
Lisa

Thanks a million Lisa! I will look forward to being grossed out then! And then, perhaps I won't be looking forward to the pracs!!!!

Kudos to you once again

Thanks for the welcome Sass. I'm lovin' this site!!

Kel

Many many thanks Lisa

The show is excellent & will be well received this week when the kiddies view their 'germs'!

Hi Lisa
I was wondering if i could get a copy of the slide show too.
Thank you my email address is MARY.PREST@det.nsw.edu.au
Thanks again.
Mary

Hi lisa I'm really sorry can I get a copy too. itmac2@bigpond.com
Thanks so so much.

May I make a suggestion Lisa? As there are so many people still asking you for the slide show (it is so great, I love it thanks you so much ) to save yourself some time, why don't you upload it as an attachment here, that way you won't have to spend forever emailing everyone? I would do it, but as it is your slide show, I am not sure if i should

Sass

Hi Sassi,
Been there, tried that!! I consulted Adam at the time, and it seems the file is too big. However, my computer skills are limited, so feel free to give it a go. If you succeed, it's all good, if not, I'm happy to keep sending!!
Cheers,
Lisa

Presto2 & Macca, I'll send yours from home tonight.

Lisa, if you don't mind could you please email me a copy of the slide show.
My email address is vicki.lovell@det.nsw.edu.au
Thank you Vicki
