Cure for cancer involves molecular biology and filtering pollution involves heterogeneous catalysis. Where does programming come into play in any direct way to these solutions? I understand that tech is involved indirectly, but so is the coffee that is served in laboratories to keep scientists working.

Hmmm, with the exception of older analog gear maybe (decades ago?). * Every single piece of data collection, storage, analysis, and control software is created through programming. * Even communication of results among team members, to management, to the public, often requires programming.
- j7ake 8y agoI agree programming is involved with all solutions that will come from sciences. But considering how many people use macs, powerpoints, and word in those industries, I think those who are working at companies like Apple and Microsoft are contributing just as much as somebody who works as programmer at start-up involving heterogeneous catalysis.
