Meet Our Guest Speaker Eugenia Bone!
While researching Mycophilia, her book about mushrooms and other fungi, NASW science writer journalist and author Eugenia Bone became fascinated with microbes—life forms too small to see without a microscope–and she joined our NYMS! Eugenia wanted to understand microbes in their ecosystems, and how they support and enable plants, animals, and people. Her Microbia: A Journey into the Unseen World Around You invokes biology as a vast conspiracy of microbes.
