What starts as a simple wound can quickly become a complex battle happening beneath the surface. 🩹🦠

The newest edition of Everyday DNA explores the science behind wound infections, from how bacteria and fungi invade damaged tissue to how the immune system responds, and why early detection is so critical. The story also highlights emerging molecular technologies that could help identify infections faster and improve treatment in hospitals, clinics, and even battlefield settings.

This article was guest-written by Dev Patel, a rising senior at Vestavia Hills High School with experience at the CDC, UAB, and GeneCapture. His interests include infectious diseases, translational biomedical science, and helping make complex science more accessible through communication and health literacy.

As we prepare for another Summer of STEM at HudsonAlpha, we want to take a moment to thank the sponsors who help make these programs possible. 🧬☀️

Because of their support and contributions, students from across our community will have the opportunity to explore science through hands on learning, real lab experiences, and STEM focused activities designed to inspire curiosity and discovery.

HudsonAlpha is excited to welcome this year’s students to campus soon and continue encouraging the next generation of scientists, researchers, and innovators. 💙

Season 7 of Tiny Expeditions is officially here, and for the first time ever, we hit the road! 🎙️🥜

This season takes listeners beyond Huntsville into the heart of Alabama’s Wiregrass region, where peanut farming, genomics, and education are coming together in powerful ways. Most of this season was recorded on farms, in classrooms, and throughout the Dothan community, the self-proclaimed Peanut Capital of the World.

We’re kicking things off with Episode 1, “The Wiregrass Peanut Revolution,” which explores the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology Wiregrass Peanut Project, a hands-on learning experience that connects local students directly to real genomic research. Through the project, students plant peanuts, analyze DNA, and help researchers identify traits linked to stronger, more resilient crops.

What makes this project so unique is that students are contributing to science happening right now. The data they help generate supports ongoing research aimed at developing peanut varieties better suited for the challenges facing growers across the Southeast.

From farms and classrooms to cutting-edge research, this season highlights the people, science, and stories that are helping shape the future of agriculture, one peanut plant at a time. 💙

We stopped by some of our labs for content, and our researchers definitely understood the assignment. 🎤🧬

Each mic pass gave a quick look into the people and research driving discovery across HudsonAlpha, with every stop leading to someone new.

And of course, we had to pass it to you! 💙
