      I cannot really say that I like bacteria 🙂
      However even if I work on how the heart forms, which bacteria are lacking of, I am still using bacteria to do my research.
      Indeed, as a molecular biologist, I am editing DNA. And most of the techniques used to modify the DNA are using bacteria. Bacteria as a tool. For example, bacteria are used to make more of a particular piece of DNA
