How Does Making sense of how life fits together - Bobbi Seleski Work?

Imagine you're putting together a puzzle, but instead of a picture on the box, you have life, all the tiny pieces like people, animals, plants, and even bacteria, and you’re trying to figure out how they fit together. That’s what Bobbi Seleski does in her work!

Think about your family. You have parents, grandparents, cousins, and so on. All of them are connected, like links in a chain or branches on a tree. Bobbi looks at how living things are related to each other, just like you might look at how your uncle is connected to your mom.

Sometimes, scientists use tools like microscopes and special tests to find out what makes life tick, kind of like using a decoder ring to read secret messages. Bobbi uses these tools to figure out where different living things come from and how they’ve changed over time, just like you might trace your family tree back through generations.

It's like giving life its own family album, showing how everything is connected, from the tiniest bug to the tallest tree!
