Happy World Antimicrobial Awareness Week #WAAW! Apparently Cefazolin is the antibiotic that best matches my personality. 💀 Not sure how I should feel about this tryinteract.com/share/quiz/59e…

What amount of eye disease research would have discovered the laser? How much virology would have discovered lipid nanobody mRNA delivery? How many disease genes would you need to find before you discovered CRISPR? Sometimes the hardest problems need discoveries in other fields
