@brit For the question of the week, which thread would that be answered in? I know this is the dom watch thread and didn't want to post in the wrong one, sorry for the question

[quote name="brit" date="2021-02-20 14:49:04" ] [b]What branch of science is your favourite?[/b] [/quote] Biology, specifically epidemiology. I love studying infectious diseases and how they spread. Secondary to this, I also like pathology, virology, and microbiology. When I was joining FR all those years ago, the moment I saw Plague I knew exactly which flight I was meant to be in.

What branch of science is your favourite?
As it is sort of what I do for a living, I feel I'm really partial do this but... biology, always and forever.
Most specifically, marine biology. I look at the sea? I scream internally of delight

@CatchyEarwyrm19 Right here in the dom watch thread! :)

What branch of science is your favorite?
Chemistry is really really fun.

What branch of science is your favourite?
Astronomy for me
