      I like Genetics. Learning and understanding about how your body is full of code, unique to you that describes how you are is fascinating to me. Also how your body interprets that code and responds to the information it contains is incredible.

      I also like learning about how genetics can be mutated, how this comes about and what a mutation can do is also really interesting! One gene never really just does one thing so it can be quite tricky to study, but worthwhile in the long run.

      I love medicine! I think its so amazing that you can take a tablet and BAM: in just a few days time, your moldy-looking green toenail is back to normal! (gross but also cool, right?) 🤙😂
      It’s impressive to find out where different medicines come from too! Some are made in a lab, some are found on coral reefs in the sea – some are even poisons that, when taken at the right dose, make you better!? SO COOL!

      Physics! It is literally the science of everything around us, starting from how we are made of really tiny atoms and molecules all the way to how gigantic planets and stars move in space.
      If you think about it, physics can explain every other science.. like geography (earthquakes, weather, etc.), biology (how proteins perform all the functions in our bodies) , chemistry (how atoms combine and form bonds) and more!

      What I like the most about this subject is that it is a combination of 50% imagination and 50% equations. That makes it enjoyable to study and visualise what the equations mean.
