Science in the Pub - Mighty Microbes

Science in the Pub aims to promote understanding of and enthusiasm for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in the general public. Their monthly gatherings are held on the last Friday of each month. Science in the Pub brings together anyone who may or may not consider themselves scientists, in the shared interest of understanding, critiquing, debating, and learning more about current issues in science.

Microbes can get a bad rap, and often the focus is on the microbes responsible for disease and infection. For our last SciPub of the year, we're shining a light on the good side of microbes and their role in ecological and human health. From viruses found on shark skin to supporting cancer patients with bacteria, our panel will bring you some diverse examples of mighty microbes.

November 2024 panellists:
Dr Jake Robinson - Flinders University
Dr Rebekah de Nys - University of Adelaide
Ryan Hesse - Flinders University
