Life is infinitely complex. Every living thing, from the smallest bacteria to the largest mammals, operates in a world of interactions. This interconnectedness is what makes the study of life so rich and significant. By improving our understanding of ourselves and the world we live in, we can become better stewards of our role within life's complexities.
