    Hello and welcome to the Science Forum!

    What branches of science are you interested in?

    I have been interested in science for quite some time now, but my forte has to be evolutionary biology. How about you?

    I am interested in life sciences, especially biochemistry and cellular biology.
    Evolutionary biology is not my forte, to be honest, but I am familiar with the basics (mostly by YouTube videos).

    I have to admit though that I do like many fields in science including: anthropology, cosmology, psychology, sociology (sociobiology) and so forth. Most of what I am more interested in relates to living organisms. What about chemistry? I never seem to be highly interested in chemistry fields as much. How about you?

    Chemistry is a broad and difficult subject that evokes less personal interest than its biochemical subdivision, so we have something in common.

    Okay, that is good to hear. I never could get it in school, yet my school was terrible at teaching science to be frank. What I have mostly learned comes from my own personal interest.

    Well if you ever feel like having a pop at it, there are a few of us who will do our best.

    Is it more of an interest in historical natural selection or in current biochemistry like research on stem cells and such?

    The correlation of the two may also be an interesting research project.

    I do seem to be into the historical natural selection 'side' of evolution.

    You may interested in this Facebook page where modern psychology and natural selection and Buddhist philosophy are discussed by a professor from Princeton U.
