This talk was the final Science Group meeting for 2015. This well illustrated talk by Peter Lovatt covered the various forms of microbes, the eminent men & women who discovered them and the presence of bacteria in town, home & country. We learnt about the bad bacteria that can cause disease or good microbes used in food production. (e.g. bread & beer). Some surprising experiments and equally horrifying facts kept out attention and gave us plenty to discuss over our tea & biscuits.
