Have your science questions #AnsweredInAntarctica
Dr Kirsty Robb from the University of Strathclyde is coming to Curiosity Live at Glasgow Science Centre this November 2018.
Kirsty will be running activities on 'talented' micro-organisms, called 'Superbugs vs Superheroes', and taking swabs of shoes to take back to the lab and isolate some new bacteria.
The Research Associate works in the field of antiobiotic resistance and is looking for new antibiotics present in the environment - could she find some in the most remote continent in the world?
The microbiologist is preparing for the trip of a lifetime to Antarctica. In January 2019, she will be travelling to Antarctica as part of a groundbreaking, global leadership programme for women in STEM, Homeward Bound.
So, there is a unique opportunity for visitors to engage with a scientist travelling to Antarctica as part of a global programme. Kirsty wants to take your questions with her and try to answer some of them on the ice, using the hashtag #AnsweredinAntarctica
