Good Internship opportunities ?
I am currently an A-Level student exploring different career paths and considering fields like Microbiology and Biotechnology as my primary options, along with Food Science, Toxicology, and Environmental Science. While I haven’t made a final decision yet, I want to gain relevant experience to strengthen my university applications and improve my chances of securing scholarships. Where can I find high-quality research internships or other opportunities—either online or, if physical it should be based in Pakistan—that would help me achieve this?
Wah Cantt.I am in A-levels first year, Which universities offer the best scholarships for international students in biotechnology and microbiology
Hi, I am in A-level, AS, and I’m currently studying biology, physics and chemistry as my three main subjects and Urdu, as an optional subject. I want help with which path I should choose. I have done some research and I am inclined towards biotechnology, microbiology as my main options and toxicology, environmental sciences, and food signs or some other good options, but I also want to explore more and see what other career options would I have with the subject that I have chosen in my AS level. Right now, I am in search of good universities that will provide me really good scholarships for courses in microbiology or biotechnology. Suggest me some good countries where I can study microbiology or biotechnology and I can get a good high paying job

Is there an option of being a microbiologist without working in the clinical area?
I have a bachelor's degree in agronomy, but my biggest dream is to become a microbiologist. The issue is that I wouldn´t say I like the hospital environment or being around clinical samples. So, my doubt is there other areas of microbiology that I can study and work on without being in the healthcare area?

What are some career options in Public Health and what does it involve?
I am soon to be graduating with a Biology degree, but am really unsure about what I want to do with it. I do not particularly want to go into lab science, and definitely want to go to grad school after college. Entering a master’s program for public health is definitely something that I am considering, but I do wonder if I am qualified/if I am at a disadvantage since I did not major in it. However, I feel like I don’t know exactly what careers a Master’s program can lead to and if this is a field that is already saturated/has good job prospects in the future. So if someone could help me learn more about this realm of healthcare, please help me out! Up until now, I had been considering options like becoming a PA or going to the med school route but I want to keep myself open to options like this as it really does interest me! I should also mention the specific areas of Public Health I am interested in are both microbiology and epidemiology. #publichealth #health-sciences #health-administration #public-health #career-paths #higher-education #health #microbiology

What degree is more helpful between biochemistry, molecular biology, or microbiology?
I am a currently biochemistry student and I am very indecisive in my career path. I want to ultimately research and help in the process of creating medicines and treatments to disorders, but I also want to study genetics and cancer stem research. So, I have decided to either undertake a minor or double major in molecular biology or microbiology. Correct me on this if I am wrong, but I researched that with a biochemistry degree one can utilize it to help make medicine or find treatments to diseases and disorders. Meanwhile, a molecular biology degree can be utilized to study disorders and bacterial diseases. So, which degree would be more helpful towards a job field as described? My college only provides molecular biology, biochemistry, biology and a minor in microbiology #biology #medicine #biochemistry #science #molecular-biology #microbiology #genetics #diseases

If I decide to go into a biology major or other related fields (i.e. biochemistry, microbiology) is it relatively easy to find jobs or should I look into going to grad school soon after I graduate from college? What kinds of jobs would be available to me?
I'm a rising sophomore in college who is interested in paring her environmental science minor with a biology major or a major from a related field. Before I declare my major I'm curious about the availability and type of jobs that I can consider after I graduate from college. #biochemistry #environmental #microbiology

What are the steps that a virologist under goes to investigate an unknown virus?
My interest career wise is investigation. I'm less than 3 months away to start my bachelors degree in Biology and I have been thinking into what branch I'll be delving in to once I finish it. One of them is virology. I understand that this studies the deseases that viruses cause in an organism. But what exactly does the virologist do in the lab that brings him/her more knowledge about the specimen. I'm intrigued because the virus itself is dangerous due to its effects. I want a response that highlights the processes done to the virus to acquire more information about it. Thank you. #biology #chemistry #environmental-science #environment #laboratory #life-sciences #microbiology #virology
