What’s super cool about biotechnology is how it takes tiny things like cells and DNA and turns them into powerful tools, like making medicines faster, growing food that can survive in crazy weather or even cleaning up the environment. It’s like using nature’s own tricks to solve big problems, and that’s pretty amazing.

Biotechnology is all about you read about whatever you see around. You see a plant flowering - you read about how it happens, when, is hat causes it and all the details about the scene. You see something as a future, you get to read about that as well. For instance - you want to develop a vaccine against a pathogen, then you work on it and you able to develop a vaccine. Isn’t it amazing… That you feel the science and implement the same with various technologies over.
