Hi! I’m Rita, a mature second‑year microbiology student with a passion for exploring the microbial universe. I created Culture & Curiosity to share my journey as a student scientist — from lab experiments to fascinating discoveries about bacteria, viruses, and beyond.

Whether you’re a fellow student, a science enthusiast, or simply curious about the unseen world around us, this blog is for you. Here, I combine storytelling, scientific insight, and curiosity to make microbiology accessible, engaging, and relatable.

Join me as I explore the hidden world of microbes, one culture at a time.
