Micropod Online

Lucy Harper from the Society for Applied Microbiology and Lucy Goodchild from the Society for General Microbiology have joined forces to create ‘Micropod Online’ – a news website for Microbiology. From this site, you can download or subscribe to the microbiology podcast, read the latest microbiology news, comment on the blogs or email the two Lucys with any burning questions/pictures/comments/jokes/ideas.

The first podcast is: Festive fungi (...and bacteria, and viruses, and protozoa...)

This episode takes a look at Christmas from a microbe’s eye view. Turkeys have it hard this year, those which didn’t get bird flu got killed anyway and some of the rest could be giving us salmonellosis on the 25th of December. Will you be eating turkey this Christmas?

There is an interview with Lewis Dartnell, astrobiologist extraordinaire, about life in the snow and lots of other Christmassy stuff.
