I don’t want to sound dense here but why is it frustrating that people who write about genetics aren’t familiar with computer science?

- agumonkey 4y agoI can have similar thoughts at times. People in one field have their own lens to see the world and might miss some structures / patterns that exist in other domains. I felt it was a bit pompous to read a few medical books about the cardiovascular system, a lot of ceremony to describe an organic pump. You'd have to read mathematically inclined papers to start reading about equations and principles rather than latin nomenclature. Which I think is what the grandparent was wishing for. ps: I absolutely do not put computing above other fields though. I just wish for some pragmatic polymathism sometimes.
