Our website is a contribution to a larger project that highlights the marginalization of various biologists. As an assignment for the AUBIO 411 (Advanced Perspectives in Biology) Capstone class at the University of Alberta's Augustana Campus, we hope our website highlights an under-recognized individual—Elizabeth Bugie—who made a significant impact to the field of microbiology and medicine.

The information used on this website is a conglomeration of primary and secondary sources. While this information is current (as of the date April 23, 2026), we acknowledge that the discovery of new information or changing recognition may make some of the information on the website outdated. Nevertheless, Elizabeth Bugie's story is unique and worth recognizing, and helps us better understand the marginalization that continues to surface in our recent history.
