\u201cBacteria party\u201d was the winning idea, which was presented by the \u2018B team\u2019 from the School<\/span><\/span><\/span> of <\/span>Pharmacy<\/span> at the <\/span><\/span>University<\/span> of <\/span>Manchester<\/span>. It includes cake and goodie bags alongside games, interactive exhibits and poster displays to celebrate the good and bad sides of bugs, germs and bacteria and how they affect our lives. The event inspired the local community to learn about science. Young people and scientists run the event together as part of the Manchester Science Festival\u2019s community awards.
