Interested in microbiology

I see nothing inappropriate in this question. There might be a user or two here that might know about this. If not, have you tried Redit?

I can't help you in any way here, but have a bump so hopefully someone who can actually help sees your thread :)
Best of luck!

I'm aware that this site is probably the most inappropriate place to do this, but I don't know where else to turn to.

Hmm? No, I don't think there is a problem with these questions?
Are you interested in microbiologists?
I feel like I used to know my acquaintance.
He is not present now. (He was researching mold)

So I can not think of a good way.
However, by watching related videos in "TED", there may be some useful information.
TED: Ideas worth spreading

welllll my friend did study microbio and damn its a hustle ( a lot of stuff to memories and you gotta have a good knowledge base in general science) lol its a good thing to study ( give you a new perspective about life and stuf) and can you find a work with it ?!!! idk to be honest cause here in my contry we are facing corruption (my friend didnt work with it but he used to work in pharmacy with that diploma )

I can't be of any help, but I thought it was a funny coincidence that I paused the movie I am watching to come check the discussions here and found this thread. I am watching Dr. Ehrlich's Magic Bullet (1940) :)

I personally don't make use of Reddit, but have you checked there? Since there's a subreddit for pretty much everything (including microbiology), your chances of stumbling across a person in this line of work may be higher.

https://www.reddit.com/r/microbiology/

Also, if you're asking due to career choices, the Google search query "microbiology reddit" brings up various threads in these two subreddits that you could review and see if your questions are answered there.

[Edit] Ah snap, just noticed that was already brought up in the first comment. Well, no idea then, best of luck!

I did post grad in molecular biology a few years ago and I've still got some contacts at the lab - It's not exactly microbiology-related, but it's still biology-related. If that's alright with you, you can send me the questionnaire and I can forward it to them.

If not, I'd highly recommend you reach out to the people over at that Reddit thread. That's the best place to start your search.

Hey Hey! I know this, there is a social network specially made for scientists, you can look for microbiologists and contact them directly. https://www.researchgate.net
If you don't have any luck I would suggest the microbiology subreddit that bondguy linked.

Did you try to contact by email or phone? Usually if you want to get things done a phone call is more powerful and gives a better impression then an email that gets lost in the bulk. :)

You could always ask a question on Quora, that might be the best location for your needs. And specify if you are looking for general or location-based answers

i have a biological technical assistant education and am currently studying biotechnology. i have 5 years of lab experience in microbiology.
But i dont have work experience in a company. i got my BTA education in 3 years were we worked in laboratories with real work conditions and after that i went to university and have 2 years of lab experience there.

The work there was in general fun. you prepare petri dishes with breeding ground for bacteria. make different experiments about bacterial cultures/ viruses/ yeast. write a lot of protocols about your research which is the annoying part of it :D
The work atmosphere is dependant of the experiment. sometimes it gets very hectic and stressful and sometimes not so much.
If you make a mistake and have not back up petri dishes or solutions you need to make another batch which can take several hours. so you must be prepared.

you can ask me further questions if you want.

I have a licentiate degree in biology, worked in research for 7 years, and I have 2 years of experience as QA analyst in microbiology for Pfizer. I'm currently only teaching, but if you are interested in having a chat, you can sent me a friend request on steam.

There are a couple of places you could try. There is probably a professional association/union that represents microbiologists in your area, possibly lumped in with some other professions. They often have free associate memberships for university students and provide career advice/support, information sessions and networking opportunities. They may be able to furnish you with some information, provide some contacts, or allow you to attend some of their events, and may even facilitate a meeting. They will probably be happy to help because they will see you as a potential future due-paying member. Some universities also have career mentoring programs as part of the career services sections of their student support services, and they may be able to arrange a contact. I've only ever worked with one person qualified as a microbiologist - she was in charge of running a municipal wastewater treatment plant, which is in large part a microbiological process (it's certainly the most critical aspect of the plant because of the time required to reestablish the microbial colonies should they crash).

I have 3 years of university education in food technology, this include microbiology, specifically bacteriology. I work on food making compagnies, such as Nestlé and Danone, mostly on chmistery, but did a but of microbiology.
Not sure I can answere your your questions but microbiology is a large field and even large applications. You may try to contact private compagnies for a free intership, first by sending a CV and a mtivation letter by mail/email and then having a phone contact.
You can ask information to science schools/universities too, it may be the better or easier way to get informations. Maybe ask for a former student contact, someone who would as a godfather.
