Microbe Lab (mwv13-microbelab.mov)

MicrobeWorld visits the Marian Koshland Science Museum for “Microbe

Lab,” a free day of activities for the general public.

In this episode we interview Erika Shugart, deputy director of the

Koshland Museum, about “Microbe Lab” and the Crack Koshie’s Curious

Case: A Disease Detective Mission activity. Next, we talk with Nagla

Fetouh, Education Program Manager for the Koshland Museum, who led a

disease exchange activity that teaches people about ways to control the

spread of infectious disease by participating in a simulation that

shows just how fast illness can spread. Finally, Eric Flem,

Communications Manager for Nikon Instruments, Inc., led us through a

demonstration of Nikon’s Coolscope. A state of the art microscope used

by clinicians and educators that has the ability to broadcast images

live on the internet.
