UPDATE: animated gif coming soon…

Way back (March 6th) I introduced a character to help introduce children to the world of microbiology that was affectionately named Bacteroid inkensis or B.inky for short.

B.inky will meet some of her relatives as she journeys across the planet. Hopefully, kids and adults alike will learn something from her interactions with them and her curiosity about how they live. Any comments or questions will be greatly apprecitated.
