Biology Week: Poo Trivia Quiz
Researchers from the Oxford Centre for Microbiome Studies are inviting families to join a Poo Trivia Quiz for Biology Week 2025. The live online event is a free, family-friendly quiz created by poo scientists for anyone poo-curious. They aim to help everyone to learn more about what happens in our guts and our toilets.
Families/teams can join online from their home devices to participate in the 40-minute interactive quiz. Quiz rounds will include poo science, poo health, poo in the news and whose poo is that?
The Royal Society of Biology celebrates Biology Week annually to highlight and champion the biosciences and everyone working in them.
The Oxford Centre for Microbiome Studies is based in the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, a biomedical research centre of the University of Oxford.
The Oxford Centre for Microbiome Studies is involved in many national projects studying how the gut microbiome is involved in health and disease. Recent projects range from inflammatory bowel disease and rheumatoid arthritis to how a mother’s diet affects the gut microbiome of her babies.
