Learning biology to understand software-system concepts is underrated. For example:

- the way pain-killers work tells you a lot about how keyloggers or man-in-the-middle attacks work

- look at how DNA "syntax checking" happens during mitosis to learn about compiling in general

- a puppy swallows whatever it sees; this gives the immune system enough test data about the surroundings etc. (similar to ML)

- a huge amount of cyber-security concepts can be understood by learning biology
