 Hello, I'm V-Win and I'm the Research Communications Officer here at FEMS. My microbiology hero is Willie Vestrotti. He's a microbial ecologist who specialises in water and throughout my PhD he was a constant inspiration because he showed me a whole world of microorganisms hidden in wastewater and introduced me to the idea that we should be working collaboratively with these microorganisms in tackling some of the environmental challenges with water and that stayed with me ever since.
