The theme this week was everyday microbes with two minute talks on: S. aureus, Str. pneumoniae, E. coli, and P. aeruginosa. I was pleased that so much information was gathered, and if you would like to read a little more have a look at Medical Microbiology for some further basic information. If you would like a little more information on the military use of Serratia marcescans in San Francisco, have a look at the wikipedia entry.
Next week’s theme is blood transfusion products.
Blood
FFP & Cryo
Platelets
IVIg
Just to repeat the rules: two minutes on the subject, which should be a talk rather than a reading. Quote your sources and use handouts to illustrate points.
The reading for next week is Doctors and Thin Slicing from Blink, by Malcolm Gladwell.
