Everywhere on Earth has its own population of microbes, but their miniscule scale means that we usually can’t see them. Despite this, microbes play a vital role in supplying our food, keeping us healthy and shaping the environment and climate.

Professor Mark Webber, microbiologist at the Quadram Institute, works at the forefront of understanding the microscopic and diverse world of bacterial biology. In this talk he will reveal the complex relationships between microbes and the world around us, how they impact some of humanities biggest problems from climate change to healthy crops and antimicrobial resistance to human health, and show that although tiny, microbes have a huge and unseen influence over our lives.
