#growingbacteria

Bacteria! We love it and we hate it. There's harmful bacteria that can make us ill, and beneficial bacteria that live inside us and help digest our food. During a Microbes book event with a local school, I got volunteers to swab different surfaces with the hopes of growing bacteria in petri dishes! After a few weeks, the students found astonishing results! Just swipe to see!
