#8 | Microbes & The Microbiome With Mia, Aged 5

Mia, aged 5, ask the nerds all about germs in this episode. Yuck! What are germs? Bacteria, viruses, fungi and protists? How do they spread and make us ill? Why do I keep getting the flu? What is our microbiome? What are good germs?  How can they keep us healthy? What are antibiotics? How was penicillin discovered? How did we discover microbes? Believe it not, even though they may be disgusting, we owe a lot to these little guys!
