How does Doherty's science relate to societal challenges?
While my primary focus is immunology, the principle of distinguishing 'self' from 'non-self' is profoundly important. This mechanism, honed by evolution to defend the body, can offer analogies for how societies grapple with identifying threats, maintaining boundaries, and integrating diverse elements. Understanding these fundamental recognition processes, whether biological or social, is key to effective functioning and adaptation.
