In nature as in life, heroes exist in unexpected places. In this talk, we describe three strange but wonderful little heroes that exist all around us. As we’ll see, within each of your cells and under leaves in the park, tiny dump trucks are keeping us alive, crafty bacteria are generating electricity when they breathe, and peculiar little animals are battling the elements by playing dead. Join us to learn how these odd survivor stories can teach us about human health and industry.
