Cellulose is used everywhere today, from textile to food production, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Divya explains how we can make cellulose in a sustainable way from microbes by using ocean water instead of fresh water, the scientific challenges of this production and the socio-economics aspects of her project. We also discuss work-life balance as a PhD student, how to maintain it and what to do if one loses this balance.
