Favorite Aspect of Biology
Code exists in all living organisms in the form of DNA and that is what I'm most interested in in the field of biology. Genetics and how certain combinations of nucleic acids as well as the different processes that occur in order to encode traits in genes are what attract me to biology.
Favorite Aspect of Computer Science
One word: programming. I just love writing programs at my fingertips and seeing them work. Granted, there are instances when it could be frustrating to code, like when it is tough to find the problem why my program doesn't compile or why the output is off by one, but the overall aspect of making programs makes it so much fun for me.
