Microbiology
Microbiology (from Greek , "mīkros", "small"; , "bios", "life"; and , "-logia") is the study of microorganisms, those being unicellular (single cell), multicellular (cell colony), or acellular (lacking cells). Microbiology encompasses numerous sub-disciplines including virology, parasitology, mycology and bacteriology.

In April 2018, Dr Jeffrey Boyd spoke to students and teachers at the Bartle Elementary School in Highland Park, firing up their enthusiasm for microbial life in general and "S. griseus" in particular. The students were taught about microbiology, antibiotics, the interaction of science and public service, and how to contact their state legislators. In May, John Warhol introduced the topic of microbiology and the State Microbe to students at the Indian Hill School in Holmdel.
