It's hard for me too be too critical, given that my current project is somewhat of a hammer targeted at what I hope is a well-chosen nail. But I now have my sights focused on learning what other big-picture research views are out there.

My undergrad institution had a lot of emphasis on structure. Some days I wondered why anyone would even care about that topic, but others it all clicked and I saw exactly how a particular system could be understood through the precise physical interactions of its part.

But what other worlds exist within biology outside the current trends of massive sequencing, -omics, and advanced imaging?
