Special event
Night of the Microbes - Great Talks on Tiny Creatures
Wednesday 15 August 2018, 8 p.m.
Microbial Ecology and its recent advances are much too fascinating and too relevant to be concealed from a broader public. The local organizers of ISME17 thus organize an evening of public talks along with the symposium. The 'Night of the Microbes' will take place in the popular events location Werk 2, one of Leipzig’s largest student clubs. The former factory normally accommodates concerts, exhibitions and other cultural events.
The idea is to make ISME17 visible to the city of Leipzig and to convey a selection of our hottest results or concepts in a casual atmosphere along with music, German beer and a nice time together.
We proudly announce the speakers of the 'Night of the Microbes':
- Karen G. Lloyd (University of Tennessee, USA):
The Power of Undiscovered Microbes - Alexandre Jousset (Utrecht University, The Netherlands):
Microbial gardeners for a pesticide-free agriculture - Mary Beth Leigh (University of Fairbanks, USA):
The art of microbiology: discovering the microbial world through art-science integration - Josh D. Neufeld (University of Waterloo, Canada):
Human skin microbiome - etwas hautnah erleben - Anja Worrich (UFZ, Leipzig, Germany):
Fairy tales through the lens of microbiology - Jan Roelof van der Meer (University of Lausanne, Switzerland):
