I am a virologist with a MS in Biology, currently working towards my PhD in Microbiology and Immunology. My research is focused on potential therapeutics for Respiratory Syncytial Virus. I find long walks through the outdoors to be a great de-stresser. Although I do favor the world of tiny things, I have a love for all things nature and do my best to identify different plants/insects/animals/etc with the help of multiple field guides. I feel everyone in the realm of science should expand their knowledge on any topic they can. I do my best to get out each day and discover something new.
