Jack Williams is a microbiologist from the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center who investigates the ways bacteria change and react when producing biofuels. Take a virtual tour of a microbiology lab, to learn how scientists transform bacteria found in soil and rotting fruit into chemical producers, especially biofuels, and to find out how scientists can observe and understand the microscopic contents of individual cells.
This field trip is one of several virtual field trips hosted by the Wisconsin Science Festival. These 45-minute virtual video webinar sessions provide an opportunity to hear directly from a scientist, researcher or STEM professional regarding their science and their journey. Students participating in live sessions also have the opportunity to ask questions. Topics include biology, geology, food science, environmental science, engineering, physics, chemistry and much more!
