Can a Biologist Fix a Radio?

Though it does at least earn some points coming from a biologist suggesting they need more engineering sensibility, rather than an engineering suggesting biologists need more engineering sensibility.

"In fact, engineers already see deep similarities between the systems they design and live organisms"

So very true. Just look at the advances in robotics that mimic natural systems. Also neural networks are an attempt to emulate a natural system.

I don't agree with the reasoning he uses to arrive at his conclusion ("a plea for a formal approach in biology"), but it's a good starting point.

No soap, radio.
