The Natural History Museum of Utah's Annual Lecture Series
Join world-renowned microbiologist Bonnie Bassler, Ph.D., for a captivating journey into the unseen conversations that govern the microbial world.
Bacteria are tiny ancient organisms. Harmful bacteria have the capacity to kill humans, animals, and plants, while beneficial bacteria play vital roles in keeping humans, animals, and plants alive. How do bacteria do it? They are so small, yet they carry out such big jobs. The answer is that bacteria work in groups: They communicate, count their numbers, and act as collectives.
This talk offers a rare window into the social lives of bacteria – and how understanding their conversations could transform modern medicine.
This event is free to attend with RSVP. For more information and to register please visit NHMU Website at the following link.
