Dr. Eleanor Spicer Rice, Entomologist and Science Writer

All around us and in us, tiny living forces secretly pull the strings that make the world run. Microbes are not only essential to making our own bodies run, they also impact our everyday worlds in sometimes sinister, sometimes delightful and always unexpected ways. Eleanor Spicer Rice will share some of these tales of microbial mind control, bacterial buddies and fungal friends from her new children’s book, “Unseen Jungle: The Microbes That Secretly Control Our World.”
