every time grace gets called a microbiologist… a part of me dies inside
he is a MOLECULAR BIOLOGIST, his doctorate is in molecular biology.
they sound similar but they are different
microbiology focuses on the microorganism and how it interacts with its surrounding
molecular biology focuses on the structure and function (ex. DNA, proteins, etc) of a biomolecules
also note, that i think microbiology is any microorganism that is alive, while molecular biology can also focus on the chemical compounds (which tech isnt alive) that exist within the molecule
microbiology is limited to bacteria and viruses (and other acellular stuff) while molecular biology is more broad and can focus on humans, plants, animals, microbes and the genetics/make-up of all of those organisms…
it kinda urks me when people get it wrong, but im not gonna be a dick abt it. I hope i dont come across as a dick.
(also, pls know im a college student who isnt in either of these fields… bc im in general studies… bc existential crisis :)))
