Before the Internet era, many people in engineering, math, and physics
actually had already practiced computer programming, similar to what SWC’s
audiences are pursuing now. I would say the human genome project probably
is the turning point. With the success of genome sequencing, biologists
I love to have this kind of role playing !!
