About Glasgow Science Festival: Germs Galore

Glasgow Science Festival will be at Well-Fed Scotland with #GermsGalore. Come and make a pair of super specs to help you spot our rogue’s gallery of larger-than-life parasites.

Learn about the diseases they cause and how they avoid our immune system. Design and make your own menacing microbe and then don a lab coat and try your hand at being a microbiologist in our #GermsGalore Culture Lab. Finish off by testing how well you wash your hands before decorating your own edible germ biscuit.

With researchers and students from the School of Infection and Immunity, University of Glasgow.
