Great Microbiologists: Remember Them This Weekend

As we head into the Memorial Day weekend here in the US, thoughts of picnics, touch football, and playing with our children naturally follow.

And so should worries about microorganisms.

Through this educational Lego animation film, you can learn the history of microbiology in an engaging and witty fashion. The segment on rabies is especially charming.

Have a nice three-day weekend. Next week, the Scholarly Kitchen may have a slightly odd publishing schedule since we’ll mostly be at the SSP’s Annual Meeting.

  1. I love Lego and I love brickfilm, and it’s always great to hear actors voices speak Dutch and French with English subtitles — but, frankly, the way they present the history of microbiology is just below the mark. We really don’t need more bad science historiography, even if it’s fur the fun of it.
