Sooo interesting to be ourselves the "microbes" under investigation for once!Great book "Antropology of Microbes" by Roberta.Raffaeta on antropological aspects of our lab & discipline. In Italian for now, English translation arriving soon. I even kind of understood what antropology is!

Grazie a te Nicola Segata e a tutto il Segata Lab per l'accoglienza e la vostra disponibilità! Bellissima esperienza da cui ho imparato molto

Thanks @pam_ferretti for your contribution!

...and the book's highlight is Nicola Segata's preface: thanks Nicola!
