From microorganisms, to plants and animals, to us as humans and the ecosystem, the world and everything in it functions in a specific way. Every day we see amazing, surprising, exhilarating, and sometimes scary things in nature. To help us understand how every living being and the world functions, we have a branch of Science called Life Science, which focuses on the study of living organisms and life processes.
There are many areas of specialisation within the broad field of Life Science.
Biology is at the core, which focuses on investigating all living beings on earth. Another key specialisation within the field of Life Science is
Environmental Studies, which explores the interactions between us as humans and our environment, with the aim of finding solutions to environmental problems. Other major branches within Life Science include anatomy, genetics, physiology, agriculture and cell biology. Start your journey into everything that is weird and wonderful about life, with Alison.
