I experienced collaborations between biology, engineering and social sciences with a playful attitude. For my PhD, I switched to information processing in biological systems, and have been fascinated by how the brain interprets sensory information ever since. My PhD in computational and neural systems was a formational time.

Our team includes social science and humanities researchers who look at the policies and implications of synthetic biology,” says Ian. On the other hand, being able to produce the compound synthetically might threaten the livelihood of a farmer in a developing country.

Because computational methods originated in the natural sciences, some disciplines, such as chemistry and physics, have lots of research software at their disposal. Modelling and simulations are often required for complex problems, such as climate change, and are employed by government agencies.

Processes in nature—like, for example, the weather—can be thought of as corresponding to computations. Yes, we can do natural science to figure out some aspects of what’s going to happen. We’ll be able to say some things—though perhaps in ways that are closer to psychology or social science than to traditional exact science.

In 1845 Kelvin (as we’ll call him) had spent some time in Paris (primarily at at a lab that was measuring properties of steam for the French government), and there he’d learned about Carnot’s work from Clapeyron’s paper (at first he couldn’t get a copy of Carnot’s actual book). But first we have to go back a bit in the story.

This was when South Africa was transitioning from the Apartheid system (based on racial segregation and run by an all-white government) to a democratic republic. The liberal arts consist of the natural sciences, like biology, ecology and neuroscience, formal sciences, like physics and maths, social sciences, and the humanities.
