The Tiny Bacterial Pathogen that Packs a lot of Might
Queen Anne Science Cafe: The Tiny Bacterial Pathogen that Packs a lot of Might
The smallest bacterium able to reproduce itself, Mycoplasma genitalium, wreaks havoc on humans. How does it do it?
Stefanie Iverson Cabral, PhD, a postdoc research scientist for the University of Washington Department of Medicine, joins us to discuss the “tricks” this tiny organism employs to win the battle between bacterial pathogen and human host and what it can tell us about other infectious diseases.
All Science Cafés are free and open to the public.
Sessions include a talk by a local scientist about his or her work followed by a question and answer period.
Atmosphere is informal and convivial.
Talks are recorded by KCTS 9 and are available for online viewing as well.
Queen Anne Science Cafes take place at T.S. McHugh’s and are presented in partnership with Pacific Science Center, Science on Tap and KCTS 9.
Tuesday, September 7th, 7:30 p.m.
T.S. McHugh’s
