A Meditation on Biological Modeling
This is not my meditation, it was created by Cellucidate:
What’s really great about it, in addition to the message itself, is that it uses visual language to make its point. I love what Cellucidate is doing (check out the video on their home page). If more cancer biologists used a system like this to validate and communicate ideas, we’d be a lot farther along in understanding and treating cancer effectively (see my previous post).

I believe the scientific method as currently practiced is incomplete. ”Science 2.0″ is emerging, and the lessons from complex systems theory are a big part of what’s missing. This has more than theoretical implications; the biggest challenges we face are due to a general ignorance of — and a willful dismissal of — the realities of an increasingly complex, interdependent world.
