Why Biology and Computer Science?

Biology: Being able to look at the living organisms around us and figuring out how they work and operate is fascinating. The idea that even with the internet, books and experts, there is still much unknown about the world which is both overwhelming and incredible.

Computer Science: Figuring out puzzles, tricks and user psychology has always drawn me towards computer science. The idea that there is always someone in the room who can make your idea better, more complex and more efficient is amazing. Computer Science is very adaptive and flexible, making work both challenging and fun to figure out a user or computers next move.
