Unravelling.Biofilms

I've had the best time with our @UnravBiofilms project over the past year! Thanks so much to the @MicrobioSoc for the funding to mix microbes and knitting together!

Meet our Society Champion Kelly Capper-Parkin, a microbiologist at @sheffhallamun, who uses yarn and fabric to start conversations about the amazing microfilm in her local community. Publish with us and help fund outreach projects like this one. youtu.be/tC-SnyXIgS8

Poster day today at #Microbio24! Come and visit our @UnravBiofilms project at poster number 282 and help to build our biofilms!

Listen to the story so far, in our first #UnravellingBiofilms #storytime #POV #bacteria #embroidery #Biofilms #crafts #crochet

#UnravellingBiofilms uses yarn based #crafts to explore #biofilms . #Biofilms are communities of #bacteria on a surface. This piece, "life and death in thread", shows bacteria living and dying in a biofilm using #embroidery

#UnravellingBiofilms is a series of projects to highlight the amazing world of microbial biofilms through the use of yarn crafts. We've been busy! Here's our first piece: "Building a biofilm". This shows the various steps to make a biofilm! #SciArt #crochet #Craft #Biofilm

We are very excited for our first event with the Women In Science Society on Wednesday!
