On Friday 15th June we looked at the positive and negative effects of three different types of microorganisms: bacteria, virus and fungi.
We then considered the theory that Europeans conquered and built empires in less developed countries through the use of steel weapons and the effects of introducing local populations to killer infectious diseases spread by micro-organisms for which they had little or no immunity.
After the break Maggie Huckerby gave an interesting and illustrated presentation on ‘what can go wrong with your heart and circulatory system’, Christine Berrill then raised our understanding of Cholesterol and John Tedstone added some points about statins. Thanks to them all.
If anyone has a talk prepared and would like to present it at the September meeting please let me know.
