Tracey Jolliffe - Canine Microbiology: Man’s best friend, or in the doghouse?

Details

Dogs... Are they man's best friend or should we put them in the dog house? As a former veterinary nurse and now human microbiologist, Tracey Jolliffe will take a look at some notable aspects of canine microbiology. Do dangers lurk in dog food? What are the hazards of being bitten?

About the speaker:
Tracey Jolliffe is a microbiologist working in the NHS. She has presented many talks and posters at a national level. Most notably amongst these are her many previous appearances speaking for Glasgow Skeptics which include STIs, Organ Donation, GOOP, and a sold out talk about her evening work as 'The Batnurse'.

This event is free to attend, although we will be asking for donations at the end of the talk. Participants are under no obligation whatsoever to donate, however please rest assured that the money we collect doesn't end up in anyone's pocket - it is used to fund our overhead costs, and travel/accommodation for our speakers who come from further afield.

Please note there are some steps in the venue so if you have motor difficulties, please let us know and we may be able to make other arrangements.
