      Hi Sunny,

      I like science because it allows me to interact with knowledge and combine knowledge from different fields (such as maths and biology) to solve problems. You cant do that with static subjects like literature and history for example – they are mostly just information.

      My favourite thing is brain-storming and freedom of thought. At the moment I am very excited about using ecology (measuring animal habitats in an area) to predict cancer cell types in a lung cancer. I recently stumbled upon a paper saying that there are marked similarities in both things even though they are poles apart. So I am going to study some ecology papers and test the models on cancer!
