Society For Applied Microbiology

Want to be dazzled and fascinated while expanding your knowledge of microbes? Check out the SfAM video channel.
Margaret McFall-Ngai, Rino Rappuoli + Koen Venema are just a few of the seminar stars. Watch: http://bit.ly/2QEtGC7

We'd like to say a HUGE thank-you to all the speakers, poster presenters, exhibitors, delegates + supporters who helped make our AMR Conference (Beyond the microbiological) such a sensational hit.

"Every surface; every bit of air; every bit of water in your home is alive," says Rob Dunn, a professor of applied ecology at North Carolina State University in Raleigh. "The average house has thousands of species."

'5–13 million tonnes of plastic (1.5–4% of global plastic production) end up in the ocean every year'

We're super pleased to announce that Jennie French, our fabulous podcast queen has been accepted as the new Chair on the Early Career Scientist committee. Info: http://bit.ly/2PnajAW #GoJennie

'Many bacteria belonging to the genus Geobacillus can be found in various harsh environments like high-temperature oilfield, marine vents, and corroded pipeline in an extremely deep well.'

“You pick up the microbiome of the new country and possibly some of the new disease risks that are more common in that country.”

'In their attempts to dominate the space and food available, as well as get enough oxygen to live, (bacterial) colonies can create beautiful, complex structures.'

Allison Cartwright looks at the galactic intersection between space travel and microbiology. #AMR #bacteria #panspermia

"Over evolutionary history, our bodies had a chance to figure this all out, and build systems to keep the microbiota in check."

'Report highlights the work previously done by campaigners, which shows that a shocking 50% of clinical trials do not publish any results, presenting risks to human health and increasing research wastage.'

"Beyond farmers or animal owners, the use of veterinary medicines concerns us all, because it has a direct impact on our environment and our food; in short, on our health."

This event is FREE for all STEM + social science early career researchers (PhD students, post-docs or equivalent in first job), trainees, SfAM members + medical professionals.
Deadline: 12am, Sunday 4 November #GetIn

The brilliant beauty of nature is undeniable, even when we feel the horror...

'The new antibiotic, cefiderocol, binds to iron and, in a deadly mistake, bacteria transport it past their defences and inside their cells.'

"While advances in modern medicine, like antibiotics, protect us from disease, other realities of modern life don’t."

"The immune system is very efficient at what it does, but if bacteria evolve ways to get around it, the immune response becomes ineffective."

An ecologist who fell in love with computing, Jacqueline McGlade pioneered the use of satellites to study the state of the global environment. She now lives in a mud hut in the Masai Mara, having married a Masai chief. An incredible listen.
