The Interaction of Science and Technology Today, or, Is Science the Mother of Invention
I wonder how many of you know the joke-it is quite an old one -which defines biochemists as people who talk about chemistry when they are among biologists, about biology when they are among chemists, and about women when they are among themselves.
