[pathologising]

how did you get into pathogens and diseases and such? :0 very cool special interest

I've always liked biology type stuff so I think it started there! My first hyperfixation that I can remember was marine biology (specifically deep sea creatures + environments as well as bioluminescense) in kindergarten and then it kind of moved to 'strange and weird diseases and syndromes' because I was an edgy traumatized preteen who was like auuauusu dark evil scary auuauaua but THEN I finally started to really look into the mechanisms underlying these diseases and why they happen and thats when I began to realize I really do love the microbial as well as molecular world !!!! And so the past few years my interests and goals have been solidifying themselves as I learn more and more about the topics I love (prion disease + protein misfolding and the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders in general, naegleria fowleri + other microbes and rare/neglected diseases and their mechanisms of infection as well as specific virulence factors, manifestation of disease in tissues and cells, protein synthesis)!

So basically as a kid my mom got me this big ocean book and now I want to be a clinical pathologist (maybe also do work in cytopath....or specialise in identifying rare disease and microbes....CDC's NCEZID hit me up 😏) and.I start my pre-med journey this fall n_n !!!
