Comparing biochemists to biophysicists is like comparing apples to oranges – or actually – atoms to molecules. Biochemists study molecular functions, such as how cells metabolize chemical compounds, like food and medicine. Biophysicists focus on atomic functions, and how the laws of physics affect biology, like the effect of zero gravity on plants and animals.

"I think some important things that really make you better at being a veterinary technician are certainly you have to have compassion and empathy. That's probably number one. If you don't feel for the animal, you're not going to be able to help them as well as you could."
