What is the 'golden age of biology' expected to bring about?

• A focus solely on genetic research

• A convergence of biology with creativity and other STEM fields

• An end to interdisciplinary studies

• A decline in technological advancements

How are butterflies contributing to energy efficiency in technology?

• By using pigments to create color

• By inspiring the use of structural color in screens

• By reducing the need for electronic devices

• By increasing the carbon footprint

What is a key benefit of using mRNA technology in vaccines?

• It acts as a biological text message to alert the body about viruses

• It replaces the need for traditional medicine

• It eliminates the need for vaccinations

• It increases the body's resistance to all diseases

Why is having a wide range of skills important in the future?

• It helps in adapting to new technological advances

• It reduces the need for design thinking

• It allows for specialization in one field

• It limits the ability to work in virtual reality
