Question: Why do you choose to work on microbes ?

Sally Cutler answered on 10 Nov 2014:

Hi, I just thought that starting small was a good place and that then I might work up to larger things. I am still learning how microbes work! I have certainly found them facinating and glad I decided to focus on microbes. Their potential is huge, not only for their role in disease, but also for what they do to maintain our environment, produce our food and even their potential for new things like making fuel.
