biology and medicine

From micro-organisms to the human body, major breakthroughs in biology are offering us unique insights into the great wonders of the tiny world. Many of our great medicinal discoveries have come not only from the lab, but also from observing animals in the wild. Often our fellow creatures have beat us to it.
