Biology and Batteries: Using Bacteria to Recycle Waste Metals

On season seven, episode three we learn about some amazing research which is at the intersection between chemistry and biology.

On this episode our podcast hosts Erin and Emily are joined by Louise Horsfall, for an inspiring conversation about her work as Chair of Sustainable Biotechnology at The University of Edinburgh. You’ll hear from her about her research on using bacteria to recycle metal ions, how this applies to real-world problems such as sourcing lithium for electric car batteries and how her work helps to build a circular economy.

You can find out more about Louise and her group's work, including the fun video we mentioned in the episode at https://biology.ed.ac.uk/horsfall/research
