How to wash your hands: handwashing 101

Washing your hands is a simple, cheap and effective of preventing the spread of germs and disease – but many of us don't wash our hands as often as we should. So, to encourage the practice of handwashing and show you how to do it right, we made this short video. Be honest, when was the last time you washed your hands properly? The Microbiology Society is a membership charity for scientists interested in microbes, their effects and their practical uses. It is one of the largest microbiology societies in Europe with a worldwide membership based in universities, industry, hospitals, research institutes and schools. Our principal goal is to develop, expand and strengthen the networks available to our members so that they can generate new knowledge about microbes and ensure that it is shared with other communities. The impacts from this will drive us towards a world in which the science of microbiology provides maximum benefit to society. Visit our website to find out more: http://www.microbiologysociety.org
