APPLICATION
People should study microbiology because it has a huge influence on our daily lives. From global pandemics like covid to the common cold, scientists and doctors need to know all about microorganisms to be able to find a cure. Without microbiologists and their work, human health would be at an all time low.

CAREER
There are many careers in microbiology, one being a microbiologist. Microbiologists study microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, algae, fungi and some parasites. More specifically they study how they live, grow, and interact with their environments.
Microbiologists usually need a bachelor’s degree in microbiology or a related field for entry-level jobs. To work in research or in colleges, they typically need a Phd. The average salary for a microbiologist in the United States is from $45k to $110k a year. |
SCIENTIST
Louis pasteur is best known for inventing pasteurization. Pasteurisation is a technique used to treat milk and prevent bacterial contamination. He also created the first vaccines for rabies and anthrax. He is famous for coming up with “germ theory” which is the idea that germs can lead to disease. His experiments convinced the science world that the germ theory was correct.
