      Hi!
      In total, I have been working with infectious diseases for around 5 years.

      I have been working at my current job for the last 3 months. Just before, I was doing my PhD, which were three years doing research in epidemics in Liverpool. Just before, I went to Africa to work with the Ebola Virus Epidemic and just before I worked with infectious diseases while doing my Masters. 🙂

      I have been in infectious diseases for two years! The first year was my Masters degree, which was in disease control. I have only been doing my PhD for one year so far, so I’m still quite new to this all! I did also study infectious diseases a lot in my undergraduate degree, so I guess I could say five years in total (but I also studied a lot about animals especially bees and ants so…)

      I have been doing my job and working on my PhD for 1 year and 2 months now. So far I am really enjoying it! Before this I did a masters degree at the university of Leeds for 1 year. Before this I did an undergraduate bachelors degree at the University of Reading for 3 years.
