| Abstract |
Microbes are all pervasive in their distribution and influence on the functioning and wellbeing of humans, life in general and the planet. Understanding their activities is vital for decisions and policies at all levels, in particular those relating to sustainability. The International Microbiology Literacy Initiative (IMiLI) is a global microbiology community creating freely available teaching resources to promote literacy in societally-relevant microbiology worldwide. The resources also teach about global citizenship, sustainability, and critical and systems thinking. IMiLI Regional Centres adapt and translate resources to regional needs and languages, and promote their use in educational facilities and web-based learning. |
