You know the other day I went to take some mice pups for the experiment. As I took them the mother just stared at me in confusion. I kept them back and thought I would do it some other day. On one hand, it is so difficult to not feel their pain. But on other hand, they are so important for human health. Is it right, is it wrong? I try not to think about it. The only thing we can do as biologists is to minimize their use and try to be as humane as possible.

When I was in my undergrad I wanted to build an AI program that could mimic all the processes in biology. From what happens in a single cell to what happens in an animal. However, at that point, my knowledge of biology was not so clear, neither the technology was so advanced as it is now. However, it's been like 10 years since that thought first came to my mind. And I think we are at a point in time where we can attempt something like that. It's still not going to be a cakewalk, but it is worth a shot. Maybe, I will someday take out some time to write about it and we can proceed in making such a system. Or maybe if life offers I can get a postdoc in some biomimetics lab or something. Fingers crossed!

Also thanks for this lovely comment and feedback. I always look forward to your comments. :) they always make my day.
