Biology
My favorite aspect of Biology has to be the way that science is both simple and yet complex. The various integrations of Biology in all parts of life, with its range of complexity, is the reason that I find science intriguing. Due to this characteristic, Biology is able to be comprehended by different types of people.
Mathematics
My favorite aspect of mathematics is the feeling of success that one feels when understanding a difficult concept. This feeling makes me enjoy mathematics, because it helps to give motivation to keep learning.
Acknowledgements
I spoke face to face with Dr. Dahlquist to determine how to "comment out," and how to upload an image onto OpenWetWare. When formatting the picture I took of the Life Science Building, I looked at the wiki syntax on Dr. Fitzpatrick's page; Ben G. Fitzpatrick.
