Are You Too Clean?
Come to Sunday's Science Pub to find out.
Dec 1, 2019, 4:00 PM
At Brandon Inn with Preston Garcia, Assoc. Professor of Biology, Castleton University

Our entire body is covered in beneficial microbes, invisible to the naked eye, but essential for our health and well-being. Over time, we have disrupted this balanced relationship with the overuse of antibiotics and anti-bacterial cleaners in an attempt to be "clean." Here's the latest research on why we need to learn to love our microbes again.

Come for a conversation with CU's admired Prof. Garcia, winner of major National Science Foundation grants, and meet old and new friends and neighbors. Enjoy the gracious Brandon Inn, including their excellent dinner (if you choose).
