Applicants are expected (1) to have a strong foundation in the basic sciences, such as biology, chemistry, and mathematics, and (2) to have training in computing/informatics, including significant computer programming experience.
In addition to meeting general BBS requirements, applicants to the Plant Molecular Biology Track must 1) have a strong foundation in basic sciences, such as biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, or mathematics, 2) be committed to pursuing research in plant sciences for their PhD, and 3) be interested in cross-disciplinary approaches to plant biology.
Preparation in basic sciences such as cell and molecular biology, genetics, physiology, and immunology is preferred, but courses such as gross anatomy, histology, and microbiology are also recommended.
Concerns are being expressed by current SRA's that the proposed new organization of study sections will be "too vertical" and thus have insufficient expertise in some of the basic sciences, such as protein crystallography for example.
These assays need to be able to separate healthy from diseased individuals in a variety of basic sciences such as genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, as well as clinical sciences.
Radiology is best taught as a "continuous thread" throughout the medical curriculum, so that learning includes basic sciences such as anatomy and pathology and extends to therapy and the clinical management of disease.
The heavy ion accelerator is a key research facility that will allow ground-breaking research into numerous facets of basic science, such as nuclear physics, astrophysics, atomic physics, life science, medicine and material science.
Suppose, by analogy, that physical scientists had focused almost exclusively on important practical concerns like communication and illumination, to the detriment of more "basic" science such as research on electricity and magnetism.
(2) Proponents of the unity of science have held the position that the theoretical entities of particular sciences, such as biology or psychology, are definable in terms of those of some more basic science, such as physics; or that the laws of these sciences can be explained by those of the more basic science.
Control of friction is one of the most practical problems in our daily life, which covers almost all the areas from basic science such as physics, chemistry and biology, to industrial technology such as mechanical and material engineering and energy problems.
The program, which dates from 1982, attempts to give students grounding in basic science, such as colloid chemistry.
