溫故知新
Systems Biology 祖師爺 Lee Hood 寫新書，這本新書月底要出版了 !
Biological Information and the Emergence of Systems Biology
看來很多人需要重新訓練了....要不然會跟不上時代 ?
好像他要提倡向下紮根，開始從新的一代大學生，訓練以新的角度和觀點來看待生物學。
我需要買一本來看看嗎 ?

Lee Hood Writing Systems Biology Textbook for Undergraduates
By Kirell Lakhman, editorial director, GenomeWeb News
NEW YORK, Sept. 23 (GenomeWeb News) - Lee Hood, president of the Institute for Systems Biology, is writing a textbook about systems biology for undergraduate students, he said at a conference earlier this month.
”Systems biology should start [at the undergraduate level] and there’s nothing out there that even remotely covered the field,” Hood told GenomeWeb News following his keynote address at the 12th European Congress on Biotechnology, held at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, earlier this month.
The aim of the text, which is expected to be available by the end of the month, is to educate undergraduate students about ”biology as an information science and the emergence of systems biology so they can think in ... conceptual terms and have the framework for ... learning about any kind of system.”
Hood said he decided to write the book because the educational system in the United States isn’t doing enough to ”integrate” disparate scientific disciplines to help students understand the way they interact in an organism --- a common definition of systems biology.
”I think we do need to change the way we train” university students studying ”fundamental sciences,” Hood said. ”Where education really fails [is] in fundamental sciences ... [because] there was an enormous concentration too early in their careers on details and not enough articulation on fundamental principles.”
For example, he said he believes that students studying biology ought to pursue a dual major with, say, engineering, applied physics, or computer science. ”I think the expectations in the US at the undergraduate level have been way too low,” he said.
”We taught biology in the past too much as a scripted science ... and we’re now in the position to teach it as a conceptual science,” he added.
The book, ”Biological Information and the Emergence of Systems Biology,” by Roberts and Company Publishers, is co-authored with David Galas, Greg Dewey, John Wilson, and Ruth Veres.
