I became super fascinated by the intelligence of biological systems when my work and research ventured into the fields of microbiology.Hugoenhttps://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/xiaomeng-fang/week-01-hw-project-ideas/index.htmlMon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/xiaomeng-fang/week-01-hw-project-ideas/index.htmlImagine a lamp made out of stained glass, of which the colours of light are solely determined by the microorganisms living on the glass.
