My first post

Hi friends,

Welcome to my first post.

Let me introduce myself and what you might be getting from me. I belong to the community of teachers and I teach Life Sciences. Life Science is something what I consider ‘Mother of all Sciences’. It is the way of human life.

What is Science?  Science is the endeavor of man kind to understand,to know its surrounding environment,universe and what not. Life science encompasses practically all branches of knowledge,as life itself is dependent on all the physical and chemical parameters with in our knowledge. Humans have an inquisitive mind which separates them from all other type of life.It is this very inquisitive nature which has given rise to so many questions and their probable answers.I call them probable because none of the answers found so far are absolutely correct. As we delve deeper and deeper we constantly change our opinions, theories and beliefs thus making science, in other words life is a dynamic force.

When man began his quest for knowledge all present day branches of science were non-existent. There were no physicists,chemists biologists and so on,just nature and natural science. The earlier seekers worked in all fields and spheres of life - Philosophy, Literature, Theology, Art, Technology and what not. As our knowledge grew we started differentiating between various fields of study. Quest for artificial methods to turn base metals into Gold gave rise to Alchemy(Chemistry). Similarly to mitigate the curse of diseases gave rise to medical profession and so on. But as our knowledge base grew rapidly in the last few decades the dividing line between various disciple has blurred. The result is merging of all fields into each other. All branches have practically merged into Life Sciences. New branches like Nanotechnology, Biotechnology and now even Electronics are looking at Life as Model for further development. All nano-machines are nothing but biomolecules. DNA – the building blockof life, is the new wonder molecule for storage and processing of information.

As my opinion goes’Life Science’ is the mother of all Sciences.

I hope to lure you back to my page with some thing from varied fields of interest.

till then,Bye-
