Well David Attenborough was a classic.
It's a cliche.
I don't even know what that is.
It's a Killer Whale mate, come on.
Oh.
Thank you.
I always feel like it was always going to end up being biology. 
The question is what would draw me to another subject over biology.
If you want one subject to give you the most holistic view of the earth, I think that is biology. 
We go all the way from ecosystems down to like gene interactions. 
Come on anything you want, we’ve got it.
Looking at a plant, and like, smelling it maybe.
Curiosity, obviously. 
I was gonna say that one.
What's that animal doing? What's that gene doing?
Not being ashamed to be weird.
Bit weird.
Out of nowhere the guy goes under the table, takes out a skull, puts it on the table
and he goes "tell me what organism this is." 
And I was like…Mmm…
It's not about how much content you know, so you have to go in
knowing that you're not gonna know all the answers.
They're looking for someone who's kind of curious about biology,
and has lots of questions. 
In a way just a rehearsal for tutorials.
Exactly.
Getting off on tangents of the world experts,
asking as many questions as you want.
We get lectures in the Natural History Museum. 
This is why I like history happened and now I'm being taught here.
You have to come through a museum and see.
There's a stuffed fox that's on the desk.
Practicals are a good way to get to grips with the actual practical side of the subject.
Once you go out in the field you actually see biology in action.
The Orielton field trip? 
That was a good field trip. 
You're doing actual practical biology work,
and then obviously the social side of it is so nice.
I met you there! Yeah. I'm so sorry.
I was expecting it to be way more formal than it actually is.
The tutors become your friends they care about your welfare 
they always ask how you're doing outside of your degree.
I wanted a small city with like just everything I needed walking distance.
Whatever comes to your mind you'll find in Oxford.
Yeah, biologists are very social they like to hang out.
As little things as just going to another College's bar 
and then you see a few biologist there, 
and they're like really chatty and stuff.
We're not geographers, we are a science. 
We did have colouring in on the lecture hand-out. 
And I think they do it very well. 
Yeah they do it really well.
It does feel like you're building on a kind of intellectual tradition.
Our lecturers will have contributed major pieces of work to this field.
You're with people who know more than most people on the planet about that particular area.
If you've got questions just go for it.
Cutting edge research that is going on in the world,
it is actually happening just a couple of metres away.
Being on a first name basis with so many of these researchers is incredible.
And having a cup of tea and a biscuit with your Tutor.
There's nothing better in life. 
A good point.
