      Do you mean the subject I work on? I find Biology absolutely fascinating, because it is at the same time very complex and simple. Also, life forms have the annoyingly wonderful ability to change to adapt to new environments! This is the case during natural evolution, as well as during cancer development 🙂

      I chose mathematics and biology because I love the way in which equations and numbers can help us understanding things in biology that look really complex and hard to understand. For example maths can help us understand how evolution happens, how we get new species and also why we see patterns like spirals on the shells of snails and stripes on the skin of zebras.
