Sometimes microbes can get a bad rap and there is often a lot of focus on the microbes responsible for disease and infection. For our last SciPub of the year, we are going to shine a light on the good side of microbes. We will touch on the role of microbes in ecological and human health. From the viruses found on the skin of sharks to using bacteria in therapeutic treatment supporting cancer patients, our panel will bring you some diverse examples of mighty microbes.

We are pleased to announce our panellists are:

Dr Jake Robinson - Research Associate, Flinders University
Dr Rebekah de Nys - Early Career Researcher, University of Adelaide
Ryan Hesse - PhD Candidate, Flinders University

Please join us on Friday 29th November at the Adelaide Irish Club (13-15 Carrington St, Adelaide). The event kicks off at 6:00 pm and will finish by approximately 7:30 pm. Doors will open at 5:30 pm. All drinks are to be purchased at the bar but guests are welcome to bring their own snacks/food. Attendance is free, but please register so we can advise the venue and set up the seating. We recommend arriving early to secure your preferred seating.

New to SciPub? Wondering what we are about?
The principal goal of SciPubAdelaide is to make science engaging and accessible to the public. Each panel consists of three experts who deliver 10-15 minute presentations on their area and then open up to questions from the audience via a moderator. Panellists are selected primarily on their ability to effectively communicate science in an engaging and non-technical manner. SciPubAdelaide is held in a pub so that scientists, aspiring scientists, and non-scientists can learn, discuss and think critically about hot topics in science.
