microbe talk: september 2014

posted on september 25, 2014   by benjamin thompson

the reverend dr william h dallinger, is probably not a name you’re familiar with. however, he was an important figure in the history of early microbiology. we sent ben to the royal society, to learn more about dallinger's life.

also this month, ben spoke to dr jeanne salje about her work on scrub typhus, a disease that is widespread in southeast asia.

show notes:

• journal article about william dallinger from the royal society.
• 1910 obituary notice for dallinger from the transactions of the american microscopical society.
• jeanne salje’s research page.
