A Hodgepodge of Microbes
A Hodgepodge of Microbes made its debut at the 2025 annual fall symposium for the Southern California Branch for the American Society for Microbiology (SCASM). In just two days, Lucas sold over 170 copies and raised more than $3,000 to support the institution's education fund.
Praise for A Hodgepodge of Microbes
Infectious enthusiasm...even the smallest organisms feel like fascinating characters in their own right.
Sure to please anyone curious about the little buggers that play such an integral, if unseen, role in our lives.
A delightful gateway to the enchanting world of the microbes that surround us.
