Welcome to Catalyst Collection CO.
🧪✨I’m a retired professor who spent 31 wonderful years teaching microbiology classes and labs and performing scientific research. Today, I am using my experience to help others learn the 'lab math' that is crucial for every day researchers in chemistry, microbiology, immunology, biology, and other STEM courses. As someone who has firsthand experience with the challenges and rewards of science, I understand the need to mix humor and promote science. Here at Catalyst Collection CO, you will find a curated mix of funky science-related items, STEM gifts, and digital educational resources I have developed during retirement.
Designed for teachers, students, and active laboratorians, these science resources focus on essential, everyday concepts used in the lab. I offer step-by-step guides and hands-on exercises for masteries like preparing molar and percent solutions, calculating dilutions, and using dilution factors to count bacteria in a solution.
Whether you are looking for practical, classroom-tested study notes/flashcards or a gift for your favorite science nerd, I hope my collection sparks curiosity and joy in your life. Thank you for stopping by!
