      In school biology was always my favorite but now that I’m at university I realized that the chemistry and physics I learned are really useful in trying to understand the things I study. To be really good at any of those subjects you need to understand the other two at least to a certain extent. Although, that said, my physics knowledge is still horribly close to nothing…

      I studied Biology and Physics so I like both of those 🙂 I love studying animals and culture but I like what I do to have a solid grounding maths. I use models from physics for this!

      Hmmmm, I mainly work in chemistry and biology but physics is too interesting to ignore! However, many areas in science overlap and complement each other- I guess I like it all! (But I guess I’m most confident in biology!)

      I am trained as a Chemist in college, I hold a PhD in Biological Chemistry and now I am in Biology working on a variety of questions that revolves in Evolution. I will say that you can not really separate scientific concepts from one another, or you should not, for an open perspective. Future belongs to scientists who do not limit themselves to just one field. Thanks for the question, Becky.

      Biology! Always been my favourite. I think the living world is fascinating, and it is easy to find things to relate to within biology – everything is biology!
