      Gene editing!

      …but I’m VERY biased. It’s maybe not the most technically complicated question in biology (and maybe biology isn’t the most technically complicated science) but I do think it’s a rich and really interesting science. It lets us modify the most complicated machine in the world (US!). And that’s not even mentioning all the ethical questions which make it difficult too.

      What do you think is the most difficult science?

      Understanding quantum physics!
      For me, difficult scinece is science which I don’t understand. Becuase I’ve never learnt any really complicated physics, I find this a really diffcult type of science to undestand. I think if we try hard enough though, we could understand anything!

      It’s very subjective, for me it would be quantum physics, or fluid mechanics, for the same reasons as Ben. I’d say immunology (or biology) in general are pretty complex, but since I’ve studied them I have a better understanding.
