150 The One Where We Talk Legionella Basics
Happy August Scaling UP! Nation!\xa0\xa0
In honor of the Annual Legionella Conference at the end of every August, The Scaling UP! Nation! declared August: Legionella Awareness Month. In line with most conferences currently, The Legionella Conference is now in January 2021. But that doesn\u2019t mean we can\u2019t learn more about this bacterium. So please help me raise the bar on Legionella Awareness during August.\xa0
In today\u2019s episode, we are going back to basics on the topic of Legionella. Join me as we travel back to 1976 when we first learned about Legionella bacteria through today, where we have to understand the subject so we can help our customers make better decisions.\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0
