Café Scientifique — Microbes: The unseen majority

with Prof. Shinichi Sunagawa (ETH Zürich)

‍

Microbes quietly keep our planet running; without them, plants and animals, including us, could not exist.

But how do we study forms of life that are invisible to the naked eye? And what do we stand to lose as microbial biodiversity continues to decline? 
In this talk, we will explore the hidden world of microbes by reading their DNA, learn how global warning is reshaping microbiall ife mm and understand why this matters for ecosystems and human health
