Every microbiologist has one. The microbe they

00:00:02.700 --> 00:00:05.259
can't stop talking about. The one that changed

00:00:05.259 --> 00:00:07.799
how they think about science, sparked a career,

00:00:08.259 --> 00:00:11.220
or simply continues to amaze them. Welcome to

00:00:11.220 --> 00:00:14.300
My Favorite Microbe, the podcast where each episode

00:00:14.300 --> 00:00:17.140
features a fascinating conversation with a special

00:00:17.140 --> 00:00:19.879
guest who answers one deceptively simple question.

00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:23.370
What's your favorite microbe and why? From Nobel

00:00:23.370 --> 00:00:25.850
Prize winning discoveries to infamous pathogens,

00:00:26.410 --> 00:00:28.530
from microbes that make cheese, beer, and medicines

00:00:28.530 --> 00:00:31.510
to those that keep us awake at night. Every organism

00:00:31.510 --> 00:00:34.310
has a story and every scientist has a unique

00:00:34.310 --> 00:00:37.289
perspective. Together we'll uncover little known

00:00:37.289 --> 00:00:40.109
facts, explore the history, separate fact from

00:00:40.109 --> 00:00:42.829
fiction, and hear the personal stories that make

00:00:42.829 --> 00:00:45.789
microbiology so captivating. Whether my guest

00:00:45.789 --> 00:00:48.950
is a researcher, clinician, pharmaceutical microbiologist,

00:00:49.149 --> 00:00:51.929
food scientist, educator, or public health expert,

00:00:52.350 --> 00:00:54.909
Every conversation reveals something unexpected

00:00:54.909 --> 00:00:57.530
about the invisible world around us and about

00:00:57.530 --> 00:01:00.030
the people who dedicated their careers to understanding

00:01:00.030 --> 00:01:03.090
it. So whether you're a scientist, a student,

00:01:03.210 --> 00:01:05.769
or simply curious about the microscopic world,

00:01:06.230 --> 00:01:08.590
join us for conversations that are insightful,

00:01:09.150 --> 00:01:12.250
entertaining, and occasionally surprising. I'm

00:01:12.250 --> 00:01:14.870
Lori Daane, your host, and I can't wait to

00:01:14.870 --> 00:01:17.450
introduce you to some remarkable people and the

00:01:17.450 --> 00:01:20.890
remarkable microbes they love. This is My Favorite

00:01:20.890 --> 00:01:25.890
Microbe. One question, one guest, and one unforgettable

00:01:25.890 --> 00:01:26.450
microbe.
