Biological systems = AFAHK (as far as Humanity knows) the only known structures that are capable of surviving by themselves in the real, outdoor enviroment, responding to stimuli in meaningful, useful way and reproduce themselves. Almost any natural biological beings have superiority over the most advanced manmade machines (at least for now) when it comes to energy efficiency, motion efficiency and many other fields. Studying in biology will shed light on robotics, computer science, and even physics. By the way, I remember that Professor Hugo de Garis said in one of his video interviews, available on YouTube, that he "looked down" on biology because it is not a fundamental science. I wish to point out that biology and physics are two "fundamentally" different disciplines, studying different phenomena. I consider that discrediting biology is wrong.
