Microbiology is the study of microscopic organisms. Microbiologists use microscopes to magnify the organisms to a viewable size where they can then be observed and studied.

Fun FactsThe human body is

estimated to contain more bacteria cells than human cells.

The first bacterial genome was first completely sequenced in 1995.

Psychology is the study of behavior and the mental processes that occur within the human brain and at times the brains of animals.
