Life Forms: Bacteria

Explore the fascinating world of bacteria through a unique lecture rooted in research and personal storytelling. Fatima AlZahra'a Alatraktchi, Associate Professor in Translational Biomedicine at Roskilde University, reveals how even the tiniest organisms navigate cooperation, communication, survival, and conflict – mechanisms that remarkably mirror human social life.

This lecture is part of the KIB the Change series, where each event explores a specific life form through experience and dialogue with an expert. In this edition, it focuses on examining, touching, and understanding bacteria's hidden communication and their role in the world around us. Alatraktchi, author of the book Possessed by Bacteria (2026), offers both scientific insight and a more personal perspective on the significance of microbes to us.
