When you picture a microbiologist, what do you imagine? Someone looking through a microscope? Maybe someone in a lab doing research? In your mind, are they wearing a white coat?Microbiologists work in so many different types of jobs. You might be surprised about some of the places you will find microbiologists working. So, I brought my friend Shelli Nauman on the Joyful Micobe podcast to share the various jobs she has had as a microbiologist. And though she currently works with infection-causing microbes as a hospital infection preventionist, she still has a deep love for microbes.
