At times the standards and the mindset of a discipline seem so natural to practitioners that others do not understand its challenges and pleasures. Perhaps the following questions raise some perspectives on what the discipline of genetics was, is and may be. Genetics is... A way of discovering nature? A way of thinking about an observation's meaning? A way of relating one observation to another? A way of asking questions? A way of designing experiments? A way of collecting data? A way of analyzing data? A way of unraveling meaning of data? A way of exploring/exploiting nature? A way of harmonizing nature? |
