TAILIEUCHUNG - Research at the Intersection of the Physical and Life Sciences

Almost since their inception, the natural sciences, those fields that use the scientific method to study nature, have been divided into two branches: the biological sciences and the physical sciences. In part, this division can be viewed as a convenient social contrivance. However, over time it has also served more functional purposes. Physical scientists, when seeking the fundamental laws, have found it necessary to focus on the simplest of systems—elementary particles, atoms, and molecules—items clearly not alive. It also has been convenient for biological scientists to investigate the immense diversity of living things and their elaborate inner workings without simultaneously accepting the burden of trying to follow these complexities. | RESEARCH AT THE INTERSECTION OF THE PHYSICAL AND LIFE SCIENCES Research at the Intersection of the Physical and Life Sciences Committee on Research at the Intersection of the Physical and Life Sciences Board on Physics and Astronomy Board on Life Sciences Board on Chemical Sciences and Technology Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences Division on Earth and Life Studies NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMIES THE NATIONAL ACADEMIES PRESS Washington .
