Bacteria, molds, and viruses are everywhere – in the food we eat to the
air we breath and every surface we touch! Microbiologists study how
microorganisms survive and grow and more importantly, how these seemingly
invisible organisms influence our lives in both positive and negative ways. You
probably know that microbes cause illness, but what you might not know is that
most microbes are essential to our daily lives. For example, without
microbiology we wouldn’t be able to enjoy many of the foods we eat, including
bread, cheese, and yogurt.
Our booth allows a first-hand look at microbiology by giving you the
opportunity to prepare slides and examine what bacteria look like up close and
personal with the help of a microscope. You will also have the chance to take
pictures of your work and be able to keep your slides as a memento of your
experience with microbiology. You can also sample some of the amazing foods
that are only made possible by microorganisms. How bacteria are able to grow
and replicate will also be discussed. Our booth will provide you with even
greater details on how microorganisms survive and thrive in the world around
us. Just keep in mind, we are not
alone!
