The theme for our booth is &#8220;The Microbes Around Us!&#8221;\u00c2\u00a0Microscopic living organisms, or <span class=\"__in\">microbes<\/span>, surround us. A small percentage (&lt;1%) are pathogenic, but a majority have no or even a positive effect on humans! <span class=\"__in\">Microbes<\/span> can thrive in the depths of oceans and the highest reaches of the atmosphere, are being engineered to produce fuel, and are even found in the most familiar of places like cheese. Stop by for an all-ages interactive experience on the microbes in our life!
