Biology is relevant to every aspect of your life. An understanding of the principles of biology will allow you to appreciate not only how our bodies work and how diseases stop them working, but also the fragility of life on Earth. In addition, a biologist understands the potential benefits and dangers of genetic engineering. Once you grasp the full significance of biology be prepared to look at the world in a new light because some day a biologist may change it beyond recognition. To study biology you must be prepared to ask difficult questions. You have to reject the bland unscientific statements and sound bites that the media throw at you and be prepared to appreciate everything around you from a biological standpoint. It has to be said that you will have to learn a lot of detailed facts and apply them in an intelligent manner. If you are inquisitive about the world, you will love biology.
