The Matrix Of Microbiology: Choose Your Pill

Congratulations! You've just been offered the Matrix choice of microbiology. Take the blue pill ("teach the class yourself") and maintain the illusion of control over your classroom. Take the pink pill ("The Amoeba Sisters") and discover how cartoon microorganisms explain cell division better than your PhD ever could. The truth is, no professor can compete with animated amoebas in bow ties when it comes to explaining meiosis. Your students already know this – they've been watching these videos with the lights off while you thought they were taking notes. Resistance is futile. The Amoeba Sisters have already won the battle for biological supremacy.
