The Author Taks

Why write a book?

And if you do write a book, why on earth would it be about microbes? On 23 March, Eline van Bloois will explain why she (together with ARTIS-Micropia Head Thomas Swierts) made these choices.

Choose your own story

Have you already seen the book in stores or even bought it? The Most Powerful Life on Earth is full of surprising microbe stories. Of course, you can’t talk about a book without a sneak peek. That’s why Eline will take you through one of these stories.

Which topic will it be? That remains a surprise—for Eline too! The audience will decide which subject will be discussed. After the presentation, there will also be time for questions.

Which topic would you like to hear more about? Here are the options:
- Cheese platter – The microbes on your bread
- Once upon a time… – Who are your distant ancestors?
- Who am I? – Are we really in control of our own bodies?
- Neat and tidy – Who cleans up nature?

Don’t miss it!
