LOVE YOU!!!! THANK YOU FOR INSPIRING ME TO BECOME A VIROLOGIST!!!!

[@leahannjacob6494]

Hey can you do more videos on virology..like its job, salary etc..i am really looking forward to it

[@sophaipilla]

Oh my god I am so grateful I found this video, it makes me so excited. virology has been a passion/ special interest since I was around three. Although im still in high school I plan to become a virologist when im older. you are a m a z i n g and this video is EXACTLY what I needed. I cannot wait to check more of this channel out. Im gonna go read my books and magazines about virology that my mom got me because im very excited right now.

Great video! Wish you made more vids (like this). I'm also a PhD student (gut-liver immunology). Subbed, just in case you would put out something new again (crosses fingers!) (FYI, I also run a (biomedical) channel on YT!)

Can I get your email address please. I am currently in college and have received an offer for biomedical science at university. I am gonna start next September but don’t know how to register with HCPC. Like can I still get a job without having to do sandwich year. This is my goal: - [ ] 3 years bachelors biomed - 18-21 - [ ] 1 year Medical Lab Assistant - 21-22 - [ ] 1 year masters at KCL - 21-22 - [ ] HCPC registration - 22 - [ ] STP training - 22-25 - [ ] AHCS registration - 25 - [ ] Clinical immunologist - 25

@@subhanm1312 I am not in the UK, and despite having done some research myself into that stuff in the UK, it's not alike here in Belgium. You can find my mail on my about page on my own channel, but I highly recommend to reach out to the IBMS themselves. If you mail me I can send some resources. It would be great if you could forward me the reply you get from them so I can learn myself in order to help others like you in the future!

@@Biomeducated ok and one more thing. I am also applying for medicine which I have not heard back from yet. But whether medicine or biomedicine I would be very happy. Once I done my a levels and have started uni I myself will start a KZbin channel for the complete journey/info/roles of medicine/biomed and would aim to make it grow A LOT. So maybe you would like to partner up? Do some featuring etc. It’ll have to be from next year tho as this year got my exams.

[@cocomelgar7028]

Great video Ma'am. Astonishing discipline. May I ask if you also skipped lunch or you do not have a lunch break in your working routine in the lab and office? Thank you!

[@salvadorhirth2919]

Is it possible to get restriction enzymes ( via liposomes ) to reach the interior of cells infected with viruses? The palindromic sequences of viruses can be targets for restriction enzymes. If feasible, perhaps such approach could revert viral diseases.

[@imthrillz5255]

Hi,could you say list app you used for your work on your both pc and laptop?

[@SakamotoCreations]

Hi, what were the names of the pieces of equipment you were using???

[@melissawhalen728]

Im finishing school to be a lab scientist. She is working at a lab bench which is also considered a fume hood, micropipettes, a multichannel pipette were used to transfer liquids to cluster plates (looked like possibly 96 cluster well), the red cap containers should be some type of flasks and the blue capped are conical tubes (in the yellow rack) The solutions used depend on what type of test she is doing but Im guessing an ELISA (enzyme linked immunosorbent assay). The clear cluster plates had antigen coated wells.

[@Gts2pro]

And growth medium that’s , red and turns a colour if it’s contaminated , lots of equipment used as cell culturing is very expensive and lots of single use plastics , I was surprised with the amount of plastic waste when I was in labs , still am in labs a different one

No you can be a molecular Virologist, in fact that’s what most Virologists are. I’ve done no medical studies.

@@leepriest3885 you’d probably have to do a masters in microbio or biotech before the PhD

[@christopher729]

How do I become a virologist. Their isn't a cource I can see and does it take 10+years

[@virus.vs.labcoat]

Yes to become a molecular virologist with a PhD it takes usually 10 or more years. Firstly you do a relevant bachelor degree such as science or biotechnology majoring in Microbiology or something similar, then a honours or masters degree to get relevant research experience in a virology laboratory. If you achieve high grades you will be eligible to enrol in a PhD program and become a specialist within your chosen virology lab.

What BSL is your lab? Personally I’m an aspiring biomedical scientist that wants to specialize in virology and my dream has been to work in a BSL-4 for as long as I can remember, just asking because I would also like to know what BSL category the Covid-19 would fall in.

[@Biomeducated]

I think she is working in a Biosafety L2 cabinet (environment). 9:12 her colleagues are in L3 for sure! So COVID-19 is L3, as she puts it on the text at the same time stamp ;)

[@Trynnagetmydegree__]

HIII, I've been kind of stuck in what career I would like to pursue. Currently, I am majoring in biology but have been looking at various potential careers such as Virology. Any advice for a biology major? What can I do with this major because I have heard that you won't be able to find that many jobs in this field. And if I were to pursue being a virologist, do I still major in biology?

[@virus.vs.labcoat]

Hi! You are right that a biology degree is not setting you up for very realistic job prospects and that is because it’s not specialised. To get a job in research you have to have some experience in whatever field you want to work in, whether that’s cancer, immunology or virology etc. That means specialising- for Virology- you would need to major in microbiology at the minimum. I majored in molecular microbiology with a bachelor of biotechnology. With this I had 1 and a half years lab experience. I recommend switching to microbiology and trying to get some lab experience to see if it suits you! Bear in mind that Virology is mostly molecular too.

[@Itz_Ashley11]
