Not true in biology, at least. You're correct that most people realize that computers are important, but most biologists can barely use a mouse, frankly. Bein

Not true in biology, at least. You're correct that most people realize that computers are important, but most biologists can barely use a mouse, frankly. Being able to code doesn't make you a great scientist, but it's one more tool in your arsenal that you can use to attack scientific problems, and it's a fairly rare one in many fields of biology.
