My whole interest is, how do you use evolution as an innovation engine? How does evolution solve new problems that life faces? And to have a system that can create a whole new chemical bond that biology hasn't done before, to me, demonstrates the power of nature to innovate.

Hussein Chalayan

I was drawn to biology and history and, of course, art. And I loved languages. The biggest problem I had is that I wasn't taught about the connections between all these things. I think that would have given life a lot more meaning and it would be a lot more enjoyable.

I entered the literary world, really, from outside. My entire background has been in sciences; I was a biology major in college, then went to medical school. I've never had any formal training in writing.

The biology of mind bridges the sciences - concerned with the natural world - and the humanities - concerned with the meaning of human experience.

There's a world of insights to be gained into human health and disease by understanding how gravity and space radiation influence biology.

As a general rule, biology tends to be conservative. It's rare that evolution 'invents' the same process several times.

Half a million women die each year around the world in pregnancy. It's not biology that kills them so much as neglect.

Our increasing ability to alter our biology and open up the processes of life is now fueling a new cultural war.

Frank Vogel

I liked medicine. I liked helping people. I liked the biology of it and understanding how the body works.

Biology, meaning the science of all life, is a late notion.

American Educator

Biology has subfields like 'marine biology', indicating specific study areas within the broader science.

Subfields Importance

Biology is also an academic subject taught at various levels of education.

Academic Subject

The word often implies research or analysis when used in professional contexts.

Research-Oriented

Referring to individual or group biology emphasizes unique physical or genetic traits.

Individual Variation

Discussions about health often use 'biology' to talk about one's bodily functions or susceptibilities.

Health Discussions

'Biology' goes beyond genetics to also include a person's overall physical processes.

Not Just Genes

 We have the benefits of all the science and technology that we talk about here. We've got cell phones to get information from the public and get information out to them.
