An Earnest Inquiry


Biology has always been an intriguing field for me, especially considering how the faculty seems so relevant and applicable in daily life. It has been aptly named the study of life as it undoubtedly seeks to shed some light on the diverse and rich array of organisms that can be seen - not always the case - around us. The human body despite its seemingly complex systems and inconceivable wonders continues to show itself as an ordered and streamlined machine, with even the tiniest of details serving their own unique purpose. I wish to learn how all these systems interact with one another, and how they strive to make the body even more efficient and effective. I'm especially curious about biology from the microscopic level, as each cell seems to be so isolated in its bizarre world of enzymes and chemical processes, yet so connected with one another at the same time. Absolutely baffling!
