I am a non-traditional student. I gave up my career as a Clinical Research Associate in cancer clinical research to pursue a future in dentistry. I am the mother of two lovely boys that keep me busy. I am excited and terrified all at the same time for this class. My interest include how microbiology relates to anything dentistry related. I hope to include fun facts about how dentistry relates to the themes covered in this class. Here is my first link to dentistry where there is a link between periodontitis and microbiology.
