Anne Maczulak
Author of The Smart Guide To Fighting Infections - publication date: Decem- ber 2011 and The Smart Guide to Biology - publication date: February 2012 and The Smart Guide to Nutrition - publication date: April 2012 Anne Maczulak, PhD, is the author of over 10 books on biology and ecology including Allies and Enemies: How the World Depends on Bacteria, and The Five-Second Rule and Other Myths about Germs. Anne has contributed to articles on germophobia, the fear of germs, in Psychology Today and has been a regular guest on television and radio, speaking to viewers about the good and bad microbes that lurk in households. As a regular guest expert on Martha Stewart Living Radio (Sirius/XM Radio), Anne answers callers’ questions on disinfectants, infection, food-borne germs, and other topics in germ-fighting. Anne has spoken to professional hygiene organizations on the best ways to disinfect surfaces. She consults for drug and biotechnology companies as well as laboratories that test new antimicrobial products. Anne’s audiences benefit from her ability to transform complex subjects into easy-to-understand lessons. And yet, reading Anne’s books on biology, ecology, and microbiology never feels like reading a textbook. Anne always relates technical topics to the “big picture” and writes for non-scientists. Anne’s talent in making connections between seemingly unrelated topics in biology comes from her background in nutrition and microbiology. As a PhD in nutrition with a specialty in microbiology, Anne studied the relationship between intestinal microbes and how humans and other animals use nutrients. During her career in industry, Anne studied microbes of the skin and scalp, the bacteria in drinking water, and microbes of the environment that produce useful cold-tolerant enzymes.
