Microbiology is a branch of biological science that is difficult for many to appreciate

because the mechanisms, and contributions of the organisms being studied in this branch
of biological science are not visible to the human eye. Or, they can be visible; however,
most of the time, what is seen are its negative impacts on human life. In my poster, I made
it a goal to depict the significance of microbiology in a different, more positive light, not only
to prove that microbiology is not all about disease-causing pathogens but also to promote
appreciation for this branch of biological science. I illustrated microorganisms’ contribution
to genetic engineering, to the food and beverage industry, how they aid in digestion, the
creation of antibiotics, and even how they contribute to and help the environment through
certain processes. Microbiology is truly a neglected biological science that deserves more
appreciation and recognition for everything it provides us in everyday life.
