      Hi adrianfear,

      I’m actually getting increasingly interested in social science and philosophy these days – studying the role of science within society, and how to ensure that it makes people’s lives better.

      Within science itself, there’s a new field called synthetic biology which is pretty cool – where people are designing new organisms on computers, then engineering them in real life.
