Question: Why did you go into microbiology instead other science subjects?

I love this question 🙂 Microbiology is a really interesting subject, and it is something that you don’t really learn much about unless you study biology (or a similar subject) at university. During my degree I found all the things I learnt about microbiology super interesting, so when I had to choose my own projects and modules I decided to do lots of microbiology ones! I think is is fascinating to learn about these tiny organisms that surround us basically everywhere, can have a big impact on our lives and we can’t even see them!

Basically I just think micro-organisms are awesome 🙂
