 Bill Nye     There s nothing I believe in more strongly than getting young people interested in science and engineering, for a better tomorrow, for all humankind. William Sanford  Bill  Nye (born 1955), popularly known as Bill Nye the Science Guy, is an American science educator, television presenter, and mechanical engineer. He is best known as the host, writer and producer of the science show Bill Nye the Science Guy, and for his many appearances in popular media as a science educator. WHY STUDY THIS MODULE? In this Module you will explore the amazing world of microbes, which are sometimes our friends and sometimes our foes. You will examine the different types of microbes, their cell types, their ecology and their laboratory cultivation. Then, you will discover some of the more high-tech uses of microbes in the  colourful  field of biotechnology, which is where nature meets science, and where living organisms create the technology of the future. In fact, biotechnology has almost unlimited potential: it can be used to create renewable clean fuel sources, improve crop yield and resistance to pests, improve the health benefits of foods, break down pollution, and even cure a myriad of diseases.
