HURST STUDENTS SPEAK UP

we performed experiments that would give us characteristics of our bacteria and then we would conduct literature searches to piece together all the information we were gathering. This process was long but really fun and rewarding!

The lecture portion of Microbiology discussed many important topics and helped to change the viewpoint on microorganisms.

One of these topics includes our gut microbiome. Finding ways to diversify our gut microbiomes was a highly discussed subject in our class because of how influential our gut microbiome is to the overall health of an individual.

There are many interesting and thought provoking classes at Mercyhurst and I am sure this is just scraping the surface. Be sure to look though the course catalog on Self Service before advising day and registration day to find classes/ electives you can take!

Do not be afraid to explore something new in college, you just might learn to love it!
