“The mag­ic of life” is what I often­times refer to when talk­ing about Bio­chem­istry. Ever since I was lit­tle, I have been cap­ti­vat­ed by the notion that every­thing around is explic­a­ble with sci­ence and this fas­ci­na­tion has con­tin­u­ous­ly drawn me in. I recall pon­der­ing ques­tions such as “What are we and the objects around us made of? Why can I move and talk, while the tree next to me can­not?” from a young age. To me, bio­chem­istry is the secret lan­guage of life, where the mol­e­cules inter­act, the ener­gy flows and — from the tini­est cell to the might­i­est blue whale- every­thing works togeth­er in har­mo­ny. Bio­chem­istry is fun­da­men­tal­ly about dis­cov­er­ing and uncov­er­ing the blue­print that defines our entire exis­tence. It is the sci­ence that turns curios­i­ty into dis­cov­ery, bridg­ing the gap between the sim­plest atoms and the com­plex­i­ty of entire ecosystems.
