Absolutely! It oftentimes feel like being an investigator who looks at evidence trying to figure out what happened and why.
I am also heavily involved in data analytics and programming, so the investigation also often involved who did what and when, and why computers do what they do.

Absolutely. The best fun part is you will do new experiment everyday. What unfolds everyday is different, so it is exciting and fun.
As I work in disease biology, the thought that my research can bring in a new method to cure a disease excites me and keeps me going. -

It’s is fun being a Microbiologist. I study microbes to understand them better.
As a microbiologist, you can make a difference to the world by working in diverse areas e. g. in research labs to understand how microorganisms behave to prevent and control infections worldwide; researching on bacterial cell structures that make them survive harsh environment e. g. growth in low nutrient condition, in extreme temperature or in the presence of chemicals, antibiotics. Microbiologists can also work in hospitals to determine what type of microorganism causes infections and advise doctors on the appropriate antibiotics; in food industry to produce various foods and alcoholic drinks and to ensure food and drinks are safe for public consumption; in pharmaceutical industry to produce drug and vaccines; in forensics to preserve and analyse DNA at crime scenes etc

Definitely! And sometimes frustrating, and disappointing and repetitive, but it is mostly exciting and fun to be investigating and finding things out that people don’t necessarily know about (yet)!
