Basic science: understanding numbers

...chemistry, biology and physics. And finally, what of the vibrating oscillococcus bacterium? We now know that influenza is a viral disease, not a bacterial one, and the oscillococcus bacterium was merely a figment of the French physician’s imagination; it doesn’t actually exist. Unfortunately, preventing and curing the rapidly mutating influenza virus is still...

...chemistry and physics. It was opposed by the doctrine of emergence which claimed that even if all physical and chemical phenomena were known it would not be possible to predict biological phenomena because new properties emerged at the level of biology that were not contained in any of its parts. These doctrines are now used generally in discussions of science, including...

...chemistry, there are substantial difficulties in providing an accessible format that includes the symbolic notation. Most of the guidelines for accessibility skip over this, or assume that the amount of notation is small and can be dealt with by supplying descriptions. In fact, communicating these kinds of complex notations to people without vision is a highly specialised...

Histology, microscopy, anatomy and disease

...chemistry, we get results very quickly. Histology is much slower because the tissue cassettes are going in here. And overnight, these reagents, IMS, and distilled methylated spirit, and xylene, and finally, wax, will visit the reaction chamber. And over that length of time, by 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, all the water will have been removed from the tissue, and it will be...
