Microbiology launches ‘Microbial Primers’
03 July 2023
Microbiology is pleased to announce the launch of ‘Microbial Primers’, a new series of short articles designed to simplify and illuminate intricate microbiological concepts.
In the continuously evolving world of microbiology, new research and discoveries can often be overwhelming, especially for early career researchers. ‘Microbial Primers’ aim to make complex concepts easily digestible and accessible for anyone with an interest in the field. Written by leading microbiologists in the subject, each article in the series will focus on a specific subject, distilling it to the most fundamental points, and explaining its importance in the wider scientific context.
The series aims to serve as a springboard, encouraging further exploration and discovery in the fascinating world of microbes. Microbiology hopes that the series will help to facilitate multi- and interdisciplinary working, providing researchers an accessible introduction to topics which may be outside of their main field of study.
The series begins today with an introduction to bacterial plasmids, written by Professor Chris Thomas and Dr Georgina Lloyd at the School of Biosciences, University of Birmingham.
Whether you're an early career scientist or an established researcher looking to broaden your horizons, ‘Microbial Primers’ is your first-step navigational tool in the expansive landscape of microbiology.
