		Its science was actually purer than that of the U.K. or the U.S. The countries with the next least investment were France and Germany, and were growing next fastest.
		By "academic science" I mean pure or basic science as opposed to university science; the latter would dwindle, but the former would grow within industry.
		Indeed, in my book I pointed out that quite a lot of the big foundations of science preceded 1940, and then after the huge influx of American government funding, people said, "Well, the government's doing that," and they started turning their attention to other things.

		By detecting biochemical anomalies, the micro-computers could consult "their programmed medical knowledge to direct the synthesis and delivery of biomolecules that serve as drugs," Shapiro explained.
		All computers need energy, and the research team's previous DNA computer used a molecule called adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, the biochemical whose high-energy phosphate bonds are used by all cells as their standard fuel.
		In findings appearing online Feb. 24 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the scientists said the enzymes regulating the input molecules can use the energy released to drive calculations.

	James Burnham: Science and Style (1940)
		How the sciences have influenced the forms of thought no one will ever discover by spending even a lifetime on the tortuous syntax of the reactionary absolutist, Hegel, but only by studying modern science and mathematics, and the careful analysts of modern science and mathematics.
		But no one has to know the science of logic in order to make sense or even to be a great empirical scientist – in fact very few people know logic, which is a highly specialised and, when divorced from empirical knowledge, rather useless subject.
		The truths that science tells are as true for Stalin as for Trotsky, for Morgan as for Cannon, for Roosevelt as for Browder.

		Bowler (Norton History of Environmental Sciences, LJ 8/93) has written a comprehensive and critical survey of evolutionary thought (l860-l940) that stresses the movement in phylogenetic research from developmentalism in anatomy and embryology to selectionism in paleontology and biogeography.
		This is a challenging book for the non-specialist but it does provide an important look at the history of science in a very well researched and detailed manner.
		It is a massive read and I often had to struggle with concepts that have grown cloudy since I took biology (and could very well have been cloudy then) but it is an invaluable look at the sometimes troubled birth of modern biological science.
