The Bacteria All Around Us

Join members of the Boo Tseng Lab of UNLV to learn about how bacteria - the good guys and the bad guys - are everywhere! We will learn about how bacteria talk to each other to form their own “hidden” cites and how you can use good bacteria to make yogurt at home. Then we will show you how to kill the bad bacteria you touch every day. Earth is a microbial world; join us to learn more about it!
