Hey Molly

Thanks for your question. I remember the exact moment I wanted to become a microbiologist. We put some milk onto agar plates and incubated it over the weekend to see what would grow. After a couple of days, we weren’t allowed to touch the plates because there might have been dangerous bacteria there was pretty cool.

Realising that there are so many little lifeforms all around us is pretty amazing!
