(Bacterial) Nightmare before Christmas

Christmas is over: the presents have been unwrapped, the tree lost all its needles, all the food you could possible fit in your stomach has been eaten and all the fights with your family have been fought. Yes, in many families conflicts over Christmas are as sure as death and taxes. But why do we get in fights with the family – the people we know best? Maybe BECAUSE they are the people who know us best and know which buttons to push to get us wound up!

Let's get started

Here it is: the realization of my New Year's resolution! [Well, one of them, next to submitting my Ph.D. thesis of course...] Here I am, starting my own science blog:
Mic'd up - Eavesdropping on the fascinating world of microbes!

I will blog about all aspects of microbiology targeted at an audience with a general interest in science but by no means experts in the field. Since this is a learning experience for me, feedback is always appreciated ;) But for now, ENJOY!
