The Adventure of Baxter Bacteria

Overview

One of our main goals was to create a lasting impact on society's perception of synthetic biology. What better way to influence children and adults than publishing a book? The Adventure of Baxter Bacteria teaches young children about the potential of synthetic biology in a fun and creative story. The narrative recounts the wonderful journey of Baxter Bacteria and his pet plasmid, Vector, as they travel through the world facing many challenges. Included at the end of the book is a parental guide designed for parents to not only teach their children about synthetic biology but themselves as well. Terms such as plasmid, bacteria, and virus are all explained making the book a powerful learning tool for all ages. What happens to Baxter and Vector in their big adventure? You will have to read it for yourself to find out! And it rhymes :)
