| Results and Impact | I was interviewed as part of the "Have You Heard?" MRC funded podcast, which aims to 'debunk' fake news about science in popular media. This gave me the opportunity to discuss my research in a podcast aimed for the general public, as well as discuss other microbiome studies and how they are reported in the news. |

| Results and Impact | In November 2018, myself and fellow team members ran some Microbiology sessions at a primary school in Stockport for Year 2 pupils. They were currently learning about good hygiene and how illnesses spread so we thought took the opportunity to teach about our research, and the importance of the microbiome and "good" bacteria. The children started the session by completing a worksheet to help them understand the scientific method (aims, methods, results and conclusions). Each child then had to do hand prints on agar before and after washing. We talked about what bacteria use to grow and conditions they thrive in, before putting the plates in the incubator. The next day we had a look at what grew. The children drew and counted what they could see and learnt about colonies and cell division. We finished the session with some conclusions about hygiene and the microbiome. |

| Part Of Official Scheme? | No |
| Geographic Reach | International |
| Primary Audience | Undergraduate students |
| Results and Impact | We ran a summer school for over 60 students visiting from overseas. I was able to demonstrate basic microbiological techniques which I use as part of my research in a series of practical sessions. This also gave me the opportunity to share my research and how I apply these techniques to studying the oral microbiome. |
