About All Things Microbes

---

Welcome to the world of microbiology!
On this channel, I explore topics in Biology, Microbiology, and Bacteriology, explaining concepts clearly and connecting them to real-world science.

A bit about me: My name is Oliver, and I hold a Master of Science in Microbiology from the University of Vienna, Austria My background spans both molecular biology and classical microbiological techniques. During my master’s thesis, I worked on bacterial identification using DNA analysis and analytical chemistry. After graduating, I made a career shift and became a university lecturer, and for many years now, I’ve been working as a Biology teacher.

I also run several YouTube channels, all focused on sharing my passion for biology and microscopy, especially the fascinating world of microbes. Check out the list of channels on the right if you’re curious to learn more.

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

In this video I will present several views of what life is (or could be). Over the years different views have been proposed and I want to explain a few of these. == Other Channels by Microbehunter! === 🎬 Microbehunter - Exploring Nature with a Microscope https://www.youtube.com/c/microbehunter 🎬…
