During FEMS2019, we managed to talk to Pascale Cossart, Professor at the Institut Pasteur (Paris), FEMS-Lwoff Awardee for 2019, and author of The New Microbiology: From Microbiomes to CRISPR / La Nouvelle Microbiologie: Des microbiotes aux CRISPR. She is also a member of the European Academy of Microbiology (EAM).

Here we chat about the book, her favourite microbes, and why you should know about the scientist Alexandre Yersin…

Pascale’s microbiological hero: Alexandre Yersin
