Growing up in an anti-vaccine household can give you some very interesting outlooks in life. Dr. Elisabeth Marnik was one of those children whose mother didn’t believe in vaccines. However, Liz went to school and received her Ph.D in Biochem genetics and Immunology which changed her viewpoint on vaccines and why they are important. Liz shares with the world her knowledge and her opinions on Instagram and expresses that vaccines are healthy to take.
Dr. Elisabeth Marnik is an Assistant Professor of Microbiology and Biochemistry at a small university in Maine. In her spare time she communicates science to the general public on Instagram at @sciencewhizliz. When not teaching or thinking about science she spends much of her time with her husband and two children exploring nature while hiking or running!
