Microbial literacy isn't just about knowing what microbes are. It's about learning to understand complexity, question assumptions, & evaluate evidence. Could learning about microbes help us become better critical thinkers? Read our blog to learn more: buff.ly/6NfRUue

It’s International Microorganism Day! For a third year running, some of our Champions have told us about their favourite microbes and our very talented Champion, Eliza Wolfson, has brought these to life with her illustrations! @eliza_coli @FEMSmicro

Noratikah Othman (International Islamic University Malaysia, Malaysia): “Vibrio fischeri is my favourite microbe because its natural bioluminescence erases the Hawaiian bobtail squid's shadow, perfectly camouflaging it from ocean predators.”

Nahdhoit Ahamada Rachid (Comoros University, Comoros): “Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus is my favourite microbe; a tiny predator that carried me through my PhD and now points the way to a natural alternative to toxic biocides.”
