I thought that it was

I thought that it was interesting that multi-cellular organisms are many lives and the difficulty lies not in keeping each of them alive but in keeping them coordinated and alive. That we have to have all these cells be alive, and then all the parts be alive, and then all the parts be alive together. It’s fascinating actually. The fact that we even can function while depending on all these improbable assemblies is amazing. Everything has to work just so, and it all has to work together to boot. And it all developed from this one little tiny cell. It blows my mind. I especially enjoyed learning about MDR-TB (Multi-drug resistant TB) even though we just touched on it, but I’d like to know a bit more about how these bacteria are able to transfer information from one to the other in this “bacteria sex”.
