What should I major in if I want to become a Physical Therapist?

I'm currently a Junior in High School and about to finish up the school year. I know I want to become a physical therapist, but I'm not quite sure what to major in before I go to medical school. I've thought about a Pre-Med Biology major, but I've also thought about a major in Exercise Science with an emphasis in Human Performance. Is one better than the other if I am going into PT? Is there another major that would be even better? The college I want to go to offers both of these majors, so availability is not a problem. Thank you so much!

I want to switch my major from computer science. I want to pursue a career in neuroscience , mostly leaning towards neuropsychology, but my school only offers bio or psych as majors and then I would have to cross register and apply for a neuro program. I don't know what I should do at all and I am lost. Help?

This is my freshman year currently so I have time.

How do scientific researchers come up with their ideas?

I'm an 11th grader in some biotechnology classes, and it's got me very interested in pursuing a career in medical research. However, I don't really understand how researchers come up with their ideas. Is there a list out there to choose from, or do people come up with them themselves? Because I've been trying and never came up with anything.

Is there an option of being a microbiologist without working in the clinical area?

I have a bachelor's degree in agronomy, but my biggest dream is to become a microbiologist. The issue is that I wouldn´t say I like the hospital environment or being around clinical samples. So, my doubt is there other areas of microbiology that I can study and work on without being in the healthcare area?

How do I go about pursuing a career in biology/forensics?

Outside of high school courses, how can I gain experience and knowledge that will lead me to a career focused on forensics? I've been super into science and art for a long time- I draw all the time and really enjoy research, note-taking, true crime and some of the psychology behind it! I want to find a way for the two passions to work together and I am excited by forensics- I'm taking a course next year (Junior year).
