How do bacteria help and harm crops?

Futurum

Jong and his team use various tools and techniques from molecular biology and genetics to study B. Social behaviours of bacteria are determined by cell-to-cell communication, known as quorum-sensing, so Jong mutated different genes involved in cell signalling to examine which controlled B. glumae and its interactions with rice.

Behind the screens: the crystals that flow like rain down a windowpane

Futurum

If you are interested in soft matter, it would also be good to study another science, such as chemistry or biology. Everything in natural science can be reduced to physics. I think you are always a physicist, whatever field of science you work in. Communicating scientific research is a really hard skill.

Imaging the invisible: how can research software and imaging techniques help scientists study the things we can’t see?

Futurum

Because computational methods originated in the natural sciences, some disciplines, such as chemistry and physics, have lots of research software at their disposal. Chemistry with Dr Nicole Hondow and Stuart Micklethwaite. Biology with Professor Michelle Peckham and Dr Alistair Curd. Scientific imaging in physics.

Charting a Course for “Complexity”: Metamodeling, Ruliology and More

Stephen Wolfram

Could it really be that this was the secret that nature had been using all along to make complexity? But it really wasn’t physics, or computer science, or math, or biology, or economics, or any known field. But I think it does well at communicating what this science that I’ve enjoyed for so long is about.
