I have to say biology and other subjects are really strange coming from a CS background. A lot of stuff doesn't have a "single right answer" it seems.

- dekhn 10y agoThis is a wise observation and I didn't really appreciate it until I was about 40. I came from the hybrid route (hacker who started learning biology early) and I think most people who come to bio from physics or CS have a lot of learning to do about how biology is "different" from those fields. The underlying systems tend to be complex- far more complex than people who work on distributed systems or HEP are comfortable working with. They are ambiguous, highly multidimensional, there are complex feedback mechanisms and redundancies, etc.
