Question: Because you was not in the live chat, I am going to ask this question. If you gained the £500, what type of disease would you plan on trying to cure? e.g. Lung Cancer, Diabetes, Breast Cancer.
I wouldn’t be looking at curing a disease, i want to do an agar art session with a local school or college. Teaching participants about bacteria and why/how they produce pigments and then getting them to draw pictures using the bacteria. It’s based on the American Society of Microbiology agar art contest which i wanted to have a go at since the first time i saw it. Some examples here – http://www.microbeworld.org/backend-submitted-news/2132-announcing-asm-s-agar-art-2016-winners
For me it’s all about raising awareness of antimicrobial resistance. We need to protect the antibiotics that we currently have. I’d use the money to make a follow up video to this one: https://youtu.be/P8ikgCwsjNE
