Science at the Cervantes Institute in Berlin

CERFA collaborates closely with the Instituto Cervantes Berlin in their Science Program, and I was invited to moderate a conversation between Dr. María López Galiano and Dr. Selma Gago-Zachert as they explore the recent discovery of “obelisks”, a newly identified class of ultra-simple infectious agents living within human-associated bacteria, as Dr. López Galiano and others described in their Cell publication.

Speaking to these scientists and hearing a firsthand account of this discovery was genuinely fascinating. You can watch the full session below:
