Why I'm interested in working with AI:
Whether it’s visualizing cellular processes, exploring ecosystems, or understanding physiological intricacies, AI has the potential to deepen students' comprehension and curiosity while offering the ability to cater to diverse learning styles, enabling students to engage with Biology in ways that resonate best with them.
I'm excited about the possibilities AI holds to make learning Biology not only informative but also inspiring, ultimately helping students develop a lasting appreciation for the living world.
