Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the potential integration of biotechnology and physics in career paths, exploring how these fields may intersect and the job opportunities available in both areas.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses interest in both physics and biotechnology, seeking information on how they can be combined in a career.
  • Another participant suggests that nanotechnology serves as a field where physics and biotechnology intersect, mentioning relevant areas of physics such as solid state physics, quantum mechanics, and electromagnetism.
  • A different participant proposes biophysics as a potential career path, focusing on the physics of biological systems and providing a resource for further exploration.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree that there are intersections between biotechnology and physics, particularly through fields like nanotechnology and biophysics. However, the discussion remains open-ended without a consensus on specific career pathways or opportunities.

Contextual Notes

The discussion lacks detailed exploration of specific job opportunities or educational pathways, and assumptions about the definitions of biotechnology and physics are not fully addressed.

Hello everybody,

I know you've had enough of these kinds of threads, but here you go.. :smile:

I'm a senior high school with MUCH interest in Physics. But with the progress in Biotechnology today, it took my attention too. I basically know nearly zip about both careers, and whether they can go hand in hand together? so that I can study them both or what. Also the job oppotrunities in both and so on.
Any help would be deeply appreciated and would definitely be a relief :wink:

Thanks in advance

Sure, very much : nanotechnology. Check out 'my website' or google for nanotechnology or check out my journal for more info.

Both physics (solid state, QM, electromagnetism) and biotechnology (physical, organic and anorganic-chemistry, ah and also biochemistry) are extensively used in this broad field of study

Marlon,

you just made my day, or career :smile:
QM has been my main interest. I'll sure check out everything you've mentioned.

Thanks very much indeed. :smile:

You could also go into biophysics, studying the physics of biological systems. Go to www.amolf.nl and look under research for Life inspired physics Experiments or Life inspired physics Theory.
