- "Sum total of bio knowledge"
1.2.2 Academic Biology

- Synthesis and discovery of information
1.2.3 Translational Biology
- Research with outcome in mine
- Trying to solve "a problem"
1.2.4 Educational Biology
- Sharing and communicating biology
- Luke De :heart: Edu Biology
- Like…
- Convincing people to have vaccines

Think: how would I share this information
