The Adventure of Baxtor Bacteria

Overview

Creating an outreach that would have a lasting effect was one of our main goals. What better way to influence children for years to come than publishing a children's book? The Adventure of Baxtor Bacteria teaches young children about the potential of of synthetic biology in a fun and creative story. The narrative recounts the wonderful journey of Baxtor Bacteria and his pet plasmid, Vector, while giving an introduction to the uses of synthetic biology. Included at the end of the book is a parental guide designed for parents to not only teach their children but themselves as well. Terms such as plasmid, synthetic biology, and virus are all explained making the book a powerful learning tool for all ages. What happens to Baxtor in his big adventure? You will have to read it for yourself to find out!
