About

Hey! I'm Lian, a current microbiology major, and I'm hosting this series to give you a tour of one of my favorite sub-topics in microbiology: infectious diseases and pathogens! Every session, we will briefly explore two different regions of the world through the lens of their notable (endemic) pathogen. We'll cover each type of pathogen, some important biological characteristics, history of their subsequent diseases, and why they are geographically endemic.
If you're looking for some quick learning this summer, whether you're interested in microbiology, general biology, or science at large, then give this series a try!

Hi, I'm Lian (any pronouns), and I'm a rising university sophomore! I'm from Massachusetts, lived in Washington for a few years, and now I'm back for university. My favorite subjects are any science, but especially biology, math, and languages. Some of my other interests are drawing, painting, video games, and D&D.
