Microbes: The Good, the Bad, and the UglyMicrobes—organisms too small to be seen by the naked eye—are an essential and beneficial part of the living world. Microbiologist Joan Bennett explores humankind’s never-ending battle between the “good” guys of the microbial universe—those organisms that help us stay healthy—and the “bad” ones that can make us sick.
Joan Bennett, Professor, Plant Biology and Pathology, School of Environmental and Biological Sciences; Associate Vice President for the Promotion of Women in Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Professor Bennett’s research focuses on molds and the toxins they produce. After the flooding from Hurricane Katrina and the widespread mold infestations that it created, Bennett’s laboratory began conducting research on potential health problems associated with indoor molds. As the associate vice president for academic affairs, Bennett promotes the advancement of women in science, engineering, mathematics, and the health professions at Rutgers. Register Now
