'Germ Wars' is a highly engaging book in which the author, Gill Arbuthnott, uses fun illustrations and a sound scientific knowledge to introduce children to the sometimes mysterious world of microbiology. This book was used as the basis for a schools outreach project of the same name across ten schools (and 250 pupils) in Dundee.

From July 2011 SfAM began funding this schools project - a two day microbiology course for Year 9/10 school children to introduce them to microorganisms and their role in health and disease.
