Life Sciences Initiative
The field of biological science is undergoing an
exciting transformation. The kinds of
discoveries we can make about life will have
enormous impacts from ethics to philosophy,
medicine to agriculture, ecology to economics.
It is beyond anything we ever dreamed
possible. Steve Tanksley Cornell
