How do living things—from cells, to organisms, to communities— work? How did they get to be the way they are? These are the big questions that the Life Sciences major at Yale-NUS seeks to address. Whether studying biochemical reactions in a test tube, watching a developing organism under the microscope, reconstructing evolutionary history on a computer, or observing animals and plants in the wild, the scope of biological sciences is vast and endlessly fascinating.
