I am a practicing Clinical Nurse Specialist, employed by an Infectious Disease practice. Talk about carbon, oxy, and anthropocentric. I deeply appreciate the obvious love you bring for your craft, field, peers and learners of all kinds. It is lovely to recall that there is a wider, weirder world beyond our typical blinders. Thank you so much for all you do. It absolutely matters. I look forward to your podcast each week. I suspect I’m not the only one.
Cheers,

I am an unabashed fan of all of the TWIX podcasts, and MM is another excellent addition to the family. It’s quite different from the other podcasts, in that it has more of an interview bias, but I really enjoy hearing scientists talk about their science. I think anyone who teaches microbial sciences should listen, and have their students listen as well. Everyone on this show is incredibly enthusiastic about what they do, and it shows.
So listen and learn! We can all be micronauts!
Marks big heart for the tiniest forms of life is inspiring ❤️
