The most common analogy for CRISPR systems is that of molecular scissors. Joe Bondy-Denomy offers an alternative analogy from the bacteriophage perspective, all based on scientific data. 

CRISPR from a Bacteriophage Perspective

We may not see microplastics, but they are all around us. These microplastics play a role in shaping the microbial environment, and this talk will explain how. 

Microplastics in the Water and their Interaction with Microbes

Science communication experts discuss creative ways (like variations of escape-the-room, the Up-Goer Five Challenge, or edible learning aids) to get people to interact with science. Jennifer Gardy, Kathryn (KT) Elliott, and Dave Westenberg discuss the inspiration for their creative approaches and tips for other who want to improve their scicomm skills. 

New Engaging Approaches for Science Communication

CDC Principal Deputy Director Anne Schuchat has extensive experience in global health and science advocacy. Jennifer Gardy interviews Schuchat about emerging disease threats and what advice for early-career scientists Schuchat can offer. Schuchat talks about translating disease detective work into policies that decrease infection rates, citing the successes in decreasing group B Streptococcus infections, developing group A meningococcal vaccines, and halting the recent West African Ebola outbreak. Schuchat talks about her road from an Emerging Infectious Disease fellow to her role in preparing for emerging disease as Deputy Director, and her vision for a future of interdisciplinary collaboration for the greater benefit of global public health.
