While my academic background is in the social sciences and more specifically educational studies, I believe that regardless of your discipline, social sciences or natural sciences, the research process, structurally speaking, is more or less the same.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Second Law also found its way into the social sciences—sometimes under names like “entropy pessimism”—most often being used to justify the necessity of “Maxwell’s-demon-like” active intervention or control to prevent the collapse of economic or social systems into random or incoherent states.

Because computational methods originated in the natural sciences, some disciplines, such as chemistry and physics, have lots of research software at their disposal. This software is needed to collect and analyse the data from images, as well as to create simulations and compare their results.
