The past year has offered me an incomparable chance to catch up with biologists, to fill in gaps in my methodological [repertoire] and to pick up essentials in neuroscience (the area I am specializing in). Hence the previous months have been packed with new information and I have enjoyed learning most of it.
On the other side, I realize that the [level] of ignorance on which we base our experimental assumptions is frightening. Neuroscience is a multidisciplinary field. Yet there still comes a point when, for example, a molecular biologist cannot achieve his goal because he doesn’t know a new imaging technique ; or a zoologist’s experiment fails because she hasn’t used the latest physiological data on a certain brain function. That’s why I sometimes feel discouraged; I am looking for a needle in the haystack but the haystack grows bigger everyday. But that’s also the fun of science. The [bottom] line is that the interdisciplinary nature of science is essential and I was blessed to have been [immersed] in this spirit over the last year.
