Being Biophilic

Hello bloggers,

I am trying to write a blog for the first time. Have been thinking a lot about what to write but couldn't come up with anything. Then one fine day I realized it is always best to talk about your love! My love is obviously BIOLOGY!! 

I want to tell you a short story of how we met and i fell in love with biology.

The point where I started to love biology was when I learnt the development of a human from just two germ cells . I was so intrigued by the way a small mass of cells align themselves in a perfect manner and then work as an excellent machine. It is like you have a block of clay and some water and in a period of nine months a beautiful, working, thinking, talking sculpture is created. I am so amazed to see how perfectly each and every cell or to be precise each and every organelle of the cell works in collaboration.

The main element of this sculpture are the proteins. These proteins are formed from just 21 amino acids,but when these combine to form a chain of thousands and thousands amino acids they become so diverse and can possibly form anything. It is like you just throw in a bunch of amino acids and still it would fold into a perfect usable functional protein.

Above all this I love and admire the boss of each cell which brings about the machine to work perfectly – DNA. If we look at it as a molecule it is just a bunch of carbons,phosphates,hydrogen, nitrogen. But these bunch of atoms are perfectly woven into a beautiful thread (better than any fabric :P) This unique double helix thread governs every organism on this planet.

I can go on and on talking about this but I think you guys got the point that I am in love with biology. Henceforth I would not be talking about how much I love biology(:P) but I would be posting the current breakthroughs, unknown facts and some other interesting stuff that is happening in the biology world!

Thank you for reading this!
