Description: THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 27,2023.Interactive multimedia educational outreach resource promoting awareness and understanding of key microbiological issues to adult and youth audiences, and showcases the significance of microbes in our lives. It is an online community for sharing the latest news, blog posts, videos, podcasts, images, research and resources related to microbiology and the life sciences. Join today and help contribute to the fastest growing networks for science information on the web. The anthrax attacks of 2001 and the ensuing focus on bioterrorism, the potential of viral and bacterial infections for victims of Hurricane Katrina, the emergence of avian flu, and the public''s growing interest in alternative fuel sources have thrust microbes into unprecedented prominence in the headlines. MicrobeWorld informs the public about how science works. The various outreach methods feature the process of discovery, historical changes in research, and a variety of scientific careers in industry, academia, and government. One of the first MicrobeWorld Radio podcasts explained how microbes enter the initially sterile bodies of infants just hours after birth, establishing the microbial communities that stay with them for life. Other topics have included why the overuse of antibiotics is a growing problem, how microbes are key in the making of chocolate, and how microbiologists are on the front line in the war against infectious diseases that threaten human and animal health. Objectives * Leverage emerging communications technologies to promote the science of microbiology to the public and provide educational resources for all levels. * Repurpose the American Society for Microbiology''s resources for the wired generation. * Increase public understanding and appreciation of the vital role microbes play on our planet. * Use new technology to promote ASM''s resources to students, educators and other potential members of the Society. * Establish ASM as a leader in online science content.
