One of the reasons I got my degree in Biotechnology was because I realized that the technology of life is mind-bogglingly advanced and learning how it does things can have profound insights into how we solve other problems. The process of mutation and evolution is definitely a strong contender for this, maybe one of the most important and powerful.
That's a very wise decision. We are far from done with learning from nature. As more and more of the DNA is unlocked it never ceases to amaze me how incredibly complex it all is and how many parts of the process interact with each others, sometimes across several levels of abstraction.
