Microbiology History of Microbiology
In this lesson, our instructor Catherine Carpenter introduces and discusses the history to Microbiology. She starts with an overview of what microbiology is, then moves on to important discoveries Leeuwenhoek's world, the first smallpox vaccination, Edward Jenner and the cowpox virus, Louis Pasteur and the theory of spontaneous generation, fermentation, pasteurization, vaccination, the germ theory of disease, Koch's postulates, and antibiotics.

Professor, I know that AP Statistics is not your subject, but I just wonder if you are able to watch the two videos which called "Practice Test 2013 AP Statistics" and "Practice Test 2014 AP Statistics" in the AP Statistics content? Both videos showing network error, I dont know why. I already tried in different computers already.

Hello Dr. Catherine,
As you know that translating the Latin/Greek/..etc names of microorganisms into English would a lot more easier to memorize them. Is there any book or something that is for translating the latin, greek roots. Because textbooks don't mention the meaning most of the times.
Thank you very much!

Hello,
I am a high school senior about to send off my applications for college. I am stuck on one thing – my intended major. Biology and chemistry have been my favorite courses throughout high school, and I would like to get a college degree that will enable me to perform research with viruses. My lifetime goal is to find a cure for a disease. From your experience, what undergraduate major should I shoot for? Biochemistry? Microbiology? Molecular Biology? Immunology? Chemical Biology? Organic Chemistry? Pharmaceutical Science? Any guidance is appreciated.
