WillBlake2,
I would love to hear more about such a speciality.

Hi Marsha,
Thanks for the interest. A number of years ago, I received the tag
of PhD in the biological sciences (specifically, Biotechnology) from
Imperial College in London. As with any such label, it is just a
tool which has allowed me to be viewed as one who can contribute to
such endeavors. I have found that amongst my colleagues, myself
included, that it is easy to fall in a self-limiting notion that the
reality depicted by such science is complete within itself. That to
which we ascribe the subjective label as measurable, with current
means, can become all that there is. There is much more which is
not immediately measurable, or is immeasurable. Take for example
our senses. They are limited within a very narrow range; our vision
covers only a very narrow gap of wavelengths. Indeed, the
information that we can gather to create our worldview with our
simple brains is limiting. Increasing the number of labels, as is
done in science expands the detail of this limited view, but no more.
Applying current scientific methods to concepts such as
"synchronicity", or other possibilities, can also be limiting, but
may be useful for communication purposes. This is very apparent in
the areas of quantum mechanics. The language of mathematics is
abstract, however, is accepted as real; it is simply useful in
creating the sense of meaning and order. So long as I keep that in
mind, my humility allows me to perhaps expand beyond that. All that
we "know" through science will change as it has done during this short period.
Hi Mark,
The biological sciences must be very exciting. I've been told that
the field of genetics is changing everything, much like Quantum
Theory did at the beginning of the last century.
Glad to see you are keeping up with the deceptive reality being
created by politicians in my adopted country, the USA.
It's a barrel of laughs...
