Every microbiologist has one. The microbe they
can't stop talking about. The one that changed
how they think about science, sparked a career,
or simply continues to amaze them. Welcome to
My Favorite Microbe, the podcast where each episode
features a fascinating conversation with a special
guest who answers one deceptively simple question.
What's your favorite microbe and why? From Nobel
Prize winning discoveries to infamous pathogens,
from microbes that make cheese, beer, and medicines
to those that keep us awake at night. Every organism
has a story and every scientist has a unique
perspective. Together we'll uncover little known
facts, explore the history, separate fact from
fiction, and hear the personal stories that make
microbiology so captivating. Whether my guest
is a researcher, clinician, pharmaceutical microbiologist,
food scientist, educator, or public health expert,
Every conversation reveals something unexpected
about the invisible world around us and about
the people who dedicated their careers to understanding
it. So whether you're a scientist, a student,
or simply curious about the microscopic world,
join us for conversations that are insightful,
entertaining, and occasionally surprising. I'm
Lori Daane, your host, and I can't wait to
introduce you to some remarkable people and the
remarkable microbes they love. This is My Favorite
Microbe. One question, one guest, and one unforgettable
microbe.
