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. You will also need to develop your people skills so that you can communicate well.

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

Stephen Wolfram

And one of the great feelings of power has been that even in fields—like the social sciences—where there haven’t really been much more than “verbal” models before, it’s now appeared possible to get models that at least seem much more “scientific”. In some ways, ruliology is like natural science.

How Did We Get Here? The Tangled History of the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Stephen Wolfram

And indeed particularly in chemistry and engineering it’s often been in the background, justifying all the computations routinely done using entropy. Later he describes what he calls the “Principle of the Communication of Heat”. There was also a sense that regardless of its foundations, the Second Law was successfully used in practice.
