There are many unsolved scientific problems, such as how to cure cancer or how to stop climate change. Finding the answers will require scientists of all disciplines (biologists, chemists, physicists, psychologists, mathematicians,…) working together.
In this talk, Dr Chris Brignell, Director of Natural Sciences and Associate Professor of Statistics in the School of Mathematical Sciences, Faculty of Science, at University of Nottingham, will examine what each branch of science can contribute. He explains how advances in medical imaging are dependent on interdisciplinary science, and how we have used them to improve human health and scientific understanding. Finally, we’ll discuss opportunities to study multiple science subjects at university.
