Default Re: [Basic] Skills of the week: Bioengineering and Biology

Bioengineering seems to be the gadgeteer skill at high tec levels, letting you design not just new species and people but also vaccines (Biotech).
Biology strikes me as more of a prerequisite skill like Mathematics (Applied) or Physics. None of the medical skills list it but I consider it a good skill to represent broad knowledge (its specialized by planet type after all).
I have used it as the goto skill to determine the basic nature of life (if any) on new planets. Naturalist and Paleontology default to it for example.
