The MicroSafari: A Journey into Microbiology, an Expedition into Engagement

In the area of hands-on science with the public, microbiology poses particular challenges in offering activities that are safe and cheap, as well as intriguing and engaging. We developed MicroSafari as part of our work with the UW–Madison Biology Outreach Club (BOC), an all-volunteer organization of...
