Wee Beasties: On Origins

Episode Summary

On Origins is a prologue episode offering some brief history of Anton Van Leeuwenhoek, and how his clever description of the “cavorting” specimens beneath his microscope as “wee beasties” inspired the name for our podcast. Our first season focuses on the CDC list of opportunistic waterborne pathogens; our first regular episode dives into Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
