Can Germs Talk?
How do bacteria invade and kill other bacteria and how might this be useful? Professor Liz Sockett will investigate the communication between prey and predator on a micro-scale.
War doesn’t just happen between humans. Bacteria do it all the time. But how do they communicate with each other to help in win their battles.
In this talk intended for people with little knowledge of germs, Professor Liz Sockett will investigate the communication between prey and predator on a micro-scale, where the enemies on both sides of the battlefield are bacteria. This will provide a fascinting insight into the dramas happening all around us invisibly.
This event is part of the Sizzling Science Series.
