      When I first encountered and got to see bacteria (age 18) …I was so excited because they cannot be seen with the naked eye. I was in my first year bachelors programme..When I work with bacteria I am always curious to find out what the results would be to the experiment I am performing..It feels like my job is to come up with the next discovery when I am around them. I have published my findings in the form of papers and you can have a look in google scholar what I discovered so far 😀 I am never afraid of bacteria because I follow the safety procedures before I handle them and wear personal protective clothing such as lab coats/masks/safety glasses etc.
