      I love molecular biology and cellular biology, specifically in human health. Molecular biology is the biology of the molecules inside cells, things like proteins and DNA, and cellular biology is the biology of how cells work, and this is thing like signalling pathways which are the routes different molecules take to make the cell do something. So if you combine molecular biology and cellular biology you can get a really nice explanation of what is going on inside cells and how that affects the cell overall.

      I love something called EvoDevo, which is the trendy way of saying Evolutionary Developmental Biology. This is the study of how changes to how an embryo develops can lead to new things, for example what changes happened to make a snake have no arms or legs? Or how a giraffe develops to have such a long neck. I love finding out what happened to make animals have really weird characteristics.
      Cheeseburgers all the way!
