      I’ve been studying the immune system for about 6 years now. It’s become something of an obsession!

      I think studying the immune system is really cool because you’ve often experienced a lot of the symptoms you’ve read about when you read papers about studies on different infections. Sometimes you learn really weird things too! Like Ferrets are used to study the flu because they sneeze and get fevers just like us. I wouldn’t like to spend my time counting their sneezes though, sounds a little bit gross!
