Biology! We are animals and are formed and shaped by biology. Everything we do, everything we experience is a part of biology. Everything we percieve is filtered by the biology of our sensing organs and processed by the biology of our brains. (But I might be a little bit biased…).

Got to be Chemistry – this is just going to go along subject lines isn’t it?! Bangs, flashes, colour changes and then there’s biochemistry to explain how biological systems work!
Chemistry is amazing because you can change one thing into another, changing colour, taste and all sorts of other properties. If gives you complete control. It’s also at the root of all biological interactions.
Chemistry has strong links into physics, but overall chemistry depends on physics for it’s understanding. And going back even further we have maths.
But for me, chemistry all the way! -

Chemistry was fun – doing things that went bang or smelt or even just changed colour, but organic chemistry just seemed too disorganised and illogical (it probably isn’t) and I got bored drawing pictures of glassware after a while> I expect that isn’t something they make you do these days?
Biology was OK but nothing special… Physics all fitted together so well – it made sense. (It made sense at school but tby the time you get through university, some bits stop making sense and you just ahve to settle for being amazed). -

Im a chemist at heart and we are all interested in things that go bang (Ive had a few of those, mostly when they were not supposed to). After that, is it is thinks that smell, like perfumes and flavours. I studied the chemical that gives ginger its hot tast at university. I disagree with Chris (scientist spend a lot of time disagreeing with each other, it helps the thought process) about organic chemistry, to me it make perfect sense, in fact it is the only bit that does. I have some physics to do at work at the moment on surface tension and I am wondering who I can get to do it, as I don’t understand all the equations. I did not do biology at school but I interact a lot with it at work now, so I did part time A level biology and thoroughly enjoyed it. But my first love is chemistry.
