How It Started 

In 2008, sitting in microbiology class, a strange thought occurred to me. What if bacteria and viruses had lives similar to ours? 

What if they had jobs, loved naps, and disliked vegetables. I bet they wore a nice hat to work. Maybe they even drove a microscopic Tesla. 

As my professor discussed cell division, I drew an image of bacteria sipping botanical elixirs on the beach. And so started Life on a Petri Dish.
