Join us for our Winter symposium! From the developing world to the developed world, there are increasing challenges to maintaining the safety and accessibility of drinking water. The aim of this symposium is to examine how medical, industrial, environmental and domestic uses of water enhance or hinder microbial growth and transmission and their effects on human health.
All events are FREE and open to the public but please register so we can provide appropriate quantities of food. Thank you!
