The module will give insight and discuss a broad spectrum of topics regarding plant-microbe interactions as well as single-cell microbiology, from the perspective of physiology, genetics and genomics, microbial ecology and evolution.
After attending this module, students will be able to identify and discuss topic specific questions and will have further insights into the methodological options to test hypotheses. The module will try to build a safe environment to test and improve the attendee’s abilities to present and discuss in public.
