Seeing my agenda nearly full reminds me of how many moments I’ve carried through this year. There’s a quiet warmth in reaching the final pages like closing a well-read book, heavy with plans, small victories, rough days, failed attempts, cancelled hopes, and the lessons that mattered most.

How many people stand between you and anyone else on the planet? 🌍Turns out… not many.
Social network analysis shows that, on average, you’re only 6 steps away from any person in the world. Just six!
And honestly… I think in Jordan it’s more like two 😅

When someone asks me again: So what inspires you in Microbiology? And I have to answer for the 500th time, pretending I didn’t just give a whole TED talk about it yesterday.

I heard a story from a Bacteriology Professor about his anthrax infection. It was a small factory owned by a friend, where they were happy to try out the first products. After eating Baladi cheese, he and his friend went to the hospital and received proper treatment.

Microbiology lovers, let's play a game without googling the question or asking ChatGPT.
A question about adaptive evolution: Do you think Salmonella does more mutations during the acute (early infection) or chronic phase in the human gut?
