The Science of Microbes - Mighty Microbes

Sometimes microbes can get a bad rap and there is often a lot of focus on the microbes responsible for disease and infection. For our last SciPub of the year, we are going to shine a light on the good side of microbes. We will touch on the role of microbes in ecological and human health. From the viruses found on the skin of sharks to using bacteria in therapeutic treatment supporting cancer patients, our panel will bring you some diverse examples of mighty microbes.
