FOME provides undergraduate microbiology educators with technical, yet practical and feasible advice for improving teaching and learning in the microbiological sciences. “The articles published in FOME are often consulted by microbiology and/or biology educators when they are looking for new ideas or new ways of thinking in microbiology teaching or research,” said Lucy Kluckhohn Jones, professor in the life sciences department of Santa Monica College, Santa Monica, CA, and editor-in-chief of FOME. “Educators rely heavily on MicrobeLibrary for enriching the classroom and laboratory experiences.” Herzog’s article is an important addition to MicrobeLibrary, an online, searchable collection of more than 2,000 peer-reviewed resources for undergraduate microbiology and biology education. Given the current social and political climate, it is more important than ever that authoritative materials are available to help college faculty teach students about the significance and impact of microorganisms in the world. FOME is one of many resources available in MicrobeLibrary. The library builds upon the scientific expertise, intellectual creativity, and private collections of the members of ASM and other researchers of microbiology and biology from around the world; it receives more than 1 million hits per month. Herzog was appointed to the HCCC faculty in 2001. She holds a B.S. from Utica College of Syracuse University and an M.S. from Yale University School of Medicine. text/html http://www.herkimer.edu/news/?id=129 The campus community welcomed Dr. Ann Marie Murray as the third president of Herkimer County Community College on Monday, August 11.
