Bacteria: the true rulers of your world

Activity: Other activity types › Public engagement and outreach - public lecture/debate/seminar

Description

How do bacteria control the health of all living creatures (including you)? Who are the true rulers of our world?
We will show you why we think tiny, invisible micro-organisms are the true leaders of everything on Earth. Through an informal chat between scientists from different disciplines, you will discover how bacteria control the health of all living creatures, and what they can or cannot do. You will realise that bacteria communicate and act as a group to be the true leaders of our world.
