Bauke Oudega, FEMS President and Professor emeritus at the VU University in Amsterdam, talks about his microbiology hero. 

The teacher that inspired you to study life sciences, the pioneer that saved many lives, the communicator that made microbiology knowledge mainstream – so many heroes have helped shape what we know about microbiology and have used their knowledge to solve some of the most pressing challenges in society.

Let’s give those heroes a big stage and tell their stories – so that we may inspire many more microbiologists.

Who inspired you to choose your discipline, see the value of microbiology in daily life, go against the flow and make your work count? Tell us about that person on https://fems-microbiology.org/opportunities/microbiology-heroes-wall-fame/ and we will share your story in this microbiology heroes ‘hall of fame’. 

P.S.: Do you want your hero to be an opening keynote speaker at FEMS 2019? Then why not nominate that person for the FEMS-Lwoff Award while you’re at it!
