PREVIOUS EVENTS

A perfect topic for socially-distanced science communication:

Michelle Rudden has recently investigated the activity of microbes that live on the human skin. She discovered that one particular species, which lives in our armpits (Staphylococcus hominis), was the source of those particular fumes that cause bad body odour.

Michelle Rudden is a research associate in molecular biology at the University of York. She will explain how this bacteria has adapted to do produce these odours, and discuss why it does this. She will also describe how this research could lead to more effective deodorants.
