Speaker<\/strong>: Dr. Jake Robinson<\/a>, PhD.<\/p>\n

91¸£Àû the Speaker: <\/strong>Dr. Robinson<\/a> is a microbial ecologist based in the UK (soon to be Australia). In 2021, he received a PhD from the University of Sheffield. He is passionate about researching microbes, ecosystems, social equity issues and the connections between them, and at the same time, he is keen to develop ways to conserve and restore nature. Invisible Friends<\/em> is his first book. This book counters the prevailing narrative of microbes as the bane of society, along the way providing much-needed clarity on the overwhelmingly beneficial role they play. Discover how the microbiome is highly relevant to environmental and social equity issues while there\u2019s also discussion about how microbes may influence our decisions; even the way we think about how we think may need to be revisited. Invisible Friends<\/em> introduces the reader to a vast, pullulating cohort of minute life \u2013 friends you never knew you had! Jake has worked on several publications with the MSE Working Group founder Dr Sue Ishaq and even interviewed her for the Microbes and Social Equity chapter in Invisible Friends<\/em>.<\/p>\n
