DESCRIPTION
The slides from my Ignite! talk at the first Ignite London. I gave a talk where I performed a poem 'about the kebab that broke my heart' talking about different types of bacteria, how they move, how the motor is assembled, and how enterotoxic E. coli can make us sick. You can see more of me at www.phatmattbaker.com or on twitter @phatmattbaker
