Going Overboard with Microbiology – Women and Children First
We had a great Symposium on 19 October 2018 in Liverpool - many thanks to everyone who came. Thank you to the Exhibitors for their continued support and to the delegates who joined us, many of whom travelled significant distances. Thank you especially to the speakers who provided some very interesting and thought provoking talks and to the chairs for keeping everyone in order. We are also grateful to the Maritime Museum for providing an excellent venue.
