Genetics

I just had an interesting thought,
Im revising for my viva, and realised, the mechanism of gram staining really doesnt interest me, Liam often says "im a microbiologist, anything with a nucleus doesnt interest me", well im a geneticist i like things to be even smaller than that, i like things at the DNA level, at a maximum at the protein level. Why you might well ask? why be so interested in something so small? Im a geneticist because i like to look at phenotypes (outcomes)and wonder, what made that happen? what caused that? Interestingly my answer to why im a philosopher is the same - why do i like philosophy?? because i like to look at things and wonder, what made that happen? what caused that? The two are surprisingly intertwinned.
