About All Things Microbes

---

Welcome to the world of microbiology! Here I'll explain many Biology/Microbiology/Baceteriology related issues.

A few words about myself: My name is Oliver and I have a Master of Science degree in Microbiology from the University of Vienna, Austria. I have a background both in molecular biology as well as in the more traditional microbiological methods. During my master's thesis, I identified bacteria using both DNA analysis as well as analytical chemistry. After I graduated, I decided to change my profession. I worked as a university lecturer and I now have been working for many years as a Biology teacher.

I have several Youtube Channels where I want to share my passion about Microscopy Biology (and Microbiology in particular) with other people. Please check out the list of channels on the right side.

Afraid of old blood: OCD?

I met someone who is worried about a 15-year-old blood spot. People who have obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) have an irrational fear of contamination. I find that the fear can be so big, that they are not accessible to explanations anymore. Visit the podcast: https://www.microbehunter.com/po…

What is LIFE? The question on the nature of life is one of the most difficult questions in Biology
