Her fascination with the critters started first as an undergrad at UCLA and then when she travelled to South Africa, where she received a double major in microbiology and biochemistry from the University of Capetown, and her Ph.D.  in microbiology from the University of Washington. After she received her doctorate, Billharz had a decision to make: teaching or
