  Hi 13scrowleconnor!
  
  Not until I went to University, so around 20 years old. I found microbiology so interesting that I decided that’s what I wanted to work on. I thought I was going to be too clumsy as a scientist (I’m always dropping things!) but as soon as I started working in a lab I found I wasn’t that clumsy – turns out you’re far more careful when working with bacteria that can make you ill!
