This is something that we can all look at and understand the importance of. This is one of the most important steps in solving most of the problems we face today. As I have gotten older I have realized and learned that there are a lot of things that we can learn from others, even when you may think that they do not have much to offer. This mentality that science must not be shared with the common man is outdated and must change if we want to progress.

Opening the scientific community up to the general public and limiting the gatekeeping that we do in todays society is something that we need to do if we want to progress in the scientific field.

When thinking about all of the undiscovered species that we have today, I wonder if we will ever come to discover all of these species and the impact that they can have on an environment.

The equivalence and variability of individuals in a community is very interesting to me and I find myself wondering whether or not these interactions of individuals play a role in the declining environmental variability.

I would like to look at the ecological timescales and the progress of real time evolution.

This revelation in science that is giving rise to new fields and jobs is very exciting to think about and I wonder if there is any new fields that have been already created in 2022.

I am excited to read that there is a lot of research going into these issues and that there are models and algorithms that can predict certain things and solve complex problems. I question though if these are super accurate, or if they are a baseline to predict a broad issue.

Although I may be wrong, I feel like invasive species are something that goes under the radar in terms of biological issues that are prioritized in the U.S. Places such as New Zealand seem to take this much more seriously, for example they don't allow tourists to bring food on planes because of the chance of bringing in invasive and harmful species.

I am interested if there is an estimation on how long term of a solution GMO products will be for and if there is a lot of active research on other solutions that we can use in the future.

Since we look at the past and for solutions to current day diseases and medicine, I wonder if there will be a time where we look back at COVID-19 and find a way to stop or prevent another pandemic or endemic similar to this one.

I wonder if there was a lack of human activity, there would be less interactions among species and less mutual dependency. I assume there would be much less because as a species, we interact with a lot of different species.

These four broad challenges, while not solved i the slightest, have been a point of research in the last couple of decades. For example for the challenge of developing better crops, we now use genetic modification to grow crops at a faster rate, can survive harsher conditions and many other obstacles that non GMO crops would have faced.

As I can see right now, evolution is one of the main things mechanisms that scientists point to when looking at a variety of problems in terms of biology.

This is something that I find very interesting in terms of the political side to biology and the funding and backing that this sort of research gets from the government. We all know that the pharmaceutical industry in particular gets a lot of funding, but at the same time also makes a lot of money as well. Is this something that inhibits this sort of research from becoming a priority, and if so how much?

I wonder if these technological advancements will continue to happen at a similar rate over the next 10 years or if this rate will slow down or decline.
