Why freelancing science?

7 08 2007

There are many definitions of bioinformatics. They range from “handling biological data with a computer” to a very extensive and precise descriptions, including even subdivisions. In general they agree on one thing: bioinformatics is used for virtually unlimited number of tasks. Whether it’s a sequence analysis, handling microarray data, juggling chemical reaction parameters - as long as it’s around living things, it’s considered a bio(chem)informatics.

I don’t see a need to invent yet another name for it. But freelancing science keeps coming to my mind all the time. Switching the system your are working on during a coffee break or doing something in your own way instead of following “the protocol” has its “freelancing” feeling, doesn’t it? :)

Hey, this takes me back to undergrad advance cell biology. It had started to cause my peptide amylase to over produce. My pancreas really got stressed.
I am am glad to see the technology is getting better and much prettier to look at.

Why so you call it freelancing science? Yeah, I guess you can do it for anybody. Why not call absolute science gone freelancing.
