      Hey haring7r2!

      I have never actually discovered a disease but I am involved in a lot of work which impacts a lot of diseases. Diseases can happen for a whole lot of different reasons – by bugs that make us sick, by our genes (the DNA we inherit from our parents) and by environmental factors – i.e. the way we live.

      That’s why by eating well and exercising and not smoking/taking recreational drugs we can reduce our likelihood of certain illnesses…but obviously there are some things we can’t control!
