Dirt, nudity and tears at Glastonbury

Science

guerrillas have made their own brand of popular science for the Glastonbury Festival this year, offering decontamination muddy revelers

Done a man with a confessional, crying how much he misses his mother. Another said he had a preference for instant coffee shameful. Some could not remember his name. Many were shouting at the top of their lungs into the microphone. A few undressed in the glow of neon pink before cleaned with wet wipes.

began at the entrance to a giant cube white, the decontamination unit, amid the mud of Glastonbury. . Puzzled guests - who thought it was a nightclub - were received by two guides in costumes Biohazard, which led to a microbial zoo: a variety of Petri dishes with colorful swirls and scratches and stains bacteria arc

Some strains produce these artistic patterns on their own.

Proteus mirabilis

, with his tail whip, nothing in circles at high speed through the agar, producing concentric rings.

"attract people and helped them learn that they really could not live without these" dirty, disease-causing things, "says Sarah Forbes, a doctoral student in microbiology from the Manchester University, which increased the plates. She gives the example of

Staphylococcus epidermidis

, who lives on our skin and prevents other more virulent bacteria to take root. " / Aa>

The exercise was part of the scientific experiment guerrilla past that seeks to introduce non-scientists to the beauty and importance of our favorite subject in the mixture of artistic and cultural events - places where people do not expect to see science, and where we can reach more people likely to avoid anything to do with it, perhaps after experiencing financial boring routine at school.

"We tried to put science in a non-conventional spaces unconventional - and it was certainly the strangest project we have delivered to a music festival, however," says Jen guerrilla science director Wong

Muddy, leaning forward to hear the cacophonous grimecore next door, were horrified to learn that our bodies are home to thousands of species of bacteria. A kilogram of bacteria live in our intestines alone, and in general, will house 10 times more bacterial cells than our own cells.

Perhaps most shocking of all party animals of the mud is the fact that they found this screen in the Shangri - the frantic hours after the "naughty corner" for Glastonbury. Next door was the nest of snakes, dance music night full of dirty appropriate electronic, through how sleep Rave (with an arena for fighting in a cage pillow), and through the unit Decontamination is an expanding range of areas such as art installations and places of micro, full of dead heads of the wrist, neon lights, and mannequins placed in very compromising positions.

scientific areas providing the most rebellious at Glastonbury was the creation of Debs Armstrong, creative director of Shangri-La, in collaboration with Dr. Amy Sanders at the Wellcome Trust, which has been organizing a series of events celebrating the dirt. "Glastonbury seemed an obvious choice: the organizers and visitors have to deal with a lot of mud and dust, showers and toilets limited, and many humans (and their germs) in the neighborhood," says Dr. Sanders
With support from the Wellcome Trust as part of their season of Dirt, guerrilla warfare scientist was hired to clean the citizens of the virus.

for eight hours a day for three days, "decontaminate" the revelers mud snaked through a hexagonal network of cameras in our giant white cube.
As part of the narrative of the decontamination unit after their lesson in microbiology, customers can opt for one of two types of disinfection: physical, leading to the dressing room (yes Many people chose to strip), then smoke, strobe-lit shower and moral, which led to a meeting in good faith with private psychiatrists: Dr Mark Salter, Dr. Peter Macrae, Dr. Priscilla Kent, and Dr. Caroline Methuen
