Our Work
Every year as part of 棉花糖直播 Microbe, our annual meeting, 棉花糖直播 organizes numerous public engagement activities. These events provide attendees with opportunities to participate in public-facing interactions that bring science outside of the meeting confines. Members of the local community in which 棉花糖直播 Microbe takes place get the chance to meet with scientists and discuss their interests, concerns and questions.
