What do you do when students just don't care about the intricacies of microbiology? Drs. Carlton Cooper and Ben Rohe have cracked the code on how to make even the most seemingly dry subjects come alive for their students.

Join us as we dive into their innovative approach, which combines empathy, human emotion, and a healthy dose of comedy to create a learning experience that's both engaging and unforgettable. From the surprising ways that humor can break down barriers to the power of storytelling in education, you'll leave this episode inspired to rethink your own approach to teaching and learning.
