In terms of what I imagine most people would be curious about:

  • How is biology research done?

  • How is medication developed?

  • Why do some things work for some people?

  • What are genes? Why are they so important? Are they me? <- the last one's a stretch...

For LW to know:

  • What overlap does bioinformatics have with normal probability theory? What methods are common?

  • How does it compare to other engineering fields?
