The Bio & Beers format is for everyone: we start with a 20 minutes presentation, followed by discussions while having beers.

This week's topic: Microbial cellulose and inception

Presenter: Margherita Pevere, artist and researcher

Microbial cellulose is a material with unique aesthetic properties: delicate and sensuous, it resembles skin and bodily matter. Not only: once dried, it has paper-like attitude. The best thing is that you can cultivate it yourself!

Margherita Pevere will give an insight into her artistic exploration of microbial cellulose, show some prototypes and samples and tell you more about the adventurous life of microbial colonies.
