I am promoting a free podcast to help spark interest in students in science and microbiology.
Called Bacteriofiles the reports on exciting news about bacteria, microbes and viruses.
It explains the connections between the research and how it may affect our lives.
It is designed to be interesting and entertaining.

For example, the most recent episode reports on four exciting stories: interesting organisms found living in acid, purple bacteria's efficiency in capturing light, a cocaine overdose treatment from bacteria, and comparing E. coli to the Linux computer software.

You can visit the podcast and down load the recent episode at: http://bacteriofiles.blogspot.com/
