International
Microorganism Day
We are very excited for International Microorganism
Day 2019, which takes place on Tuesday 17 September.
This initiative was started by the Portuguese Society for
Microbiology to raise awareness among young people
and society in general
about the role of
microorganisms in our
lives.
Many events are being
planned by them, and other
organisers have confirmed
their involvement in Europe
and Latin America. We think it
is an exciting idea, and are keen to support this initiative and to help it to grow.
This year we are coordinating some online activity around our Microbe Art
Contest with the hashtag #MicrobeArt2019.
Art is a known way to communicate complicated topics in scientific research.
For this reason we invite researchers in the field of microbiology, and anyone
interested, to participate in our Microbe Art Competition.
The artistic output could be an object
of your research or study with a witty
explanation, a beautiful image or
graphic, a screenshot of a short essay,
or a video of a poem, song, or film about
your research or topic in microbiology.
Think what inspired you to become a
microbiologist, and let microbiology
inspire your art: #MicrobeArt2019
