SFAM | BLACK HISTORY IN MICROBIOLOGY 2020 has been a crazy year, microbiology has suddenly found itself at the top of every news programme, with scary numbers and panic bulk-buying aplenty. I would never have believed that the whole world would turn its focus away from a global pandemic and focus on an 8 minute video, but that is exactly what happened. George Floyd’s murder was caught on video and spread faster than COVID-19.
