Science Bar “Microbes: Friends or Foes?”

Thursday, June 15, 2017, from 8:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Le Dôme Brewery – Montpellier

Microbes are the main colonizers of our planet. One kilogram of our body is composed of one hundred trillion microbial cells, and without these living organisms invisible to the naked eye, we could not survive.
Microbes live in the air, soil, and water, and are present in all living beings because their ability to adapt is limitless. Unfairly associated with unsanitary conditions, disease, and even death, microbes awaken in us an ancestral fear of major epidemics. However, they are most often our allies, as their benefits are countless, while others can indeed be fatal to us.
