#Ottawa! Want to learn about the bizarre & spectacular microbial world? Of course you do! Come join us at 7PM, June 4 at the Central Experimental Farm, where Dr. Nicolas Corradi will be presenting "Breaking the Rules: The Eukaryotic Microbial Universe" site.pheedloop.com/e... #botany #CBA2026

Public Talk 7PM Thursday June 4, Central Experimental Farm
Breaking the Rules:
The Eukaryotic Microbial Universe

For most of us, "microbes" means bacteria and viruses, tiny creatures that spoil food and cause disease. This overlooks some of the most important members of the Microbial World: the eukaryotes.

Join Dr. Nicolas Corradi as he introduces us to the stunning diversity of these
fascinating creatures, highlighting the crucial ecological, economic and medical
functions they play.

absolutely wild to see people out here saying that it is responsibility of peer reviewers to check for hallucinated references. it is hard enough to persuade people to read articles and provide reviews. expecting them to spend hours cross reffing literature is unreal.
