	Natural science - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term natural science is also used to identify "science" as a discipline following the scientific method, in contrast to natural philosophy, or in contrast with social sciences, which use the same scientific method applied to different subjects.
		Together, the natural and applied sciences are distinguished from the social sciences on the one hand, and from the humanities, theology and the arts on the other.
		In this sense "natural sciences" can be an alternative phrase for biological sciences, involved in biological processes, or perhaps also the earth sciences, as might distinguished from the physical sciences (more directly involved in the study of physical and chemical laws underlying the universe).

		The traditional description of natural science is the study of nature: the physical, nonhuman aspects of the earth and the cosmos.
		The term natural science is also used to identify "science" as a discipline following the scientific method, in contrast to natural philosophy.

	St Catharine's College : Admissions
		Other Cambridge courses with 'science' in the title that are not part of the Natural Sciences include Social and Political Sciences (SPS), Medical and Veterinary Sciences and Computer Science, although some courses in computing are also available to natural scientists.
		One of the best and most distinctive features of Cambridge Natural Sciences is the opportunity it gives students to explore a broad range of different disciplines, before deciding on which scientific area their talents and interests are best suited: you don't have to commit yourself to a single science at the beginning of your studies.
		The College is a lively and varied place to study natural sciences, not least because of the John Ray Society, the College natural science society.

	Queens' College Cambridge - Natural Sciences
		The Cambridge Natural Sciences Tripos is unique, in that no other British University offers within one course such a wide variety of subjects in all the physical and biological sciences.
		After one year of Natural Sciences it is normal for some students to transfer to Chemical Engineering although it is also possible to defer this transfer to the end of a student's second year.
		Some subjects (Astrophysics, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Geology, Materials Science and Metallurgy and also Experimental and Theoretical Physics) can be studied in a student's fourth year for Part III the Natural Sciences Tripos; the fourth year courses are intended particularly for students who hope to pursue a research career in these subjects.

	Churchill College: Admissions Information: Undergraduates: Natural Sciences
		We are keen to emphasise the interdisciplinary nature of Cambridge Natural Sciences.
		Although, as illustrated elsewhere on this Website, the flexibility within the Natural Sciences is enormous, there are three broad themes to biological study that can be followed: (a) whole-organism biology, (b) cellular and molecular biology, and (c) human biology.
		Most people taking biological subjects within the Natural sciences Tripos will take a three-year degree course; the exception to that is Biochemistry, which now offers both Part II and Part III courses in the third and fourth years respectively.

		On the Nature of Computing I would like to propose that the natural agenda for Computing is the Virtual, in contrast to the Natural and the Artificial.
		I studied Natural Sciences in Cambridge as an undergraduate - we were taught the value of study of the natural world, and the use (and advance of mathematics) to describe and understand (and predict) its behaviour.
		Unlike the natural, science, some of what we do may not necessarily be simply "for the advancement of pure knowledge", and therefore a priori worthwhile!

		The Natural Sciences Tripos is designed to allow students a large degree of flexibility in their studies.
		While Natural Science students can afford to be undecided about their future specialisation, they must nevertheless be committed and highly motivated as the course is demanding and challenging for even the most gifted students.
		Natural Sciences interviews are both technical and general, designed to observe how well candidates can think on their feet and apply their knowledge, and we do our best to put applicants at their ease.

		Rupert is the author of A New Science of Life and The Presence of the Past, in which he presents his theory for explaining the mysterious process of morphogenesis.
		In The Rebirth of Nature, Rupert examines the philosophical implications of morphogenesis, and in Trialogues on the Edge of the West, which he wrote with Terence McKenna and Ralph Abraham, he debates and interweaves many ideas concerning the nature of reality.
		On September 15, 1989, we met with the Sheldrakes and their young son Merlin at the Esalen institute, where Rupert's wife, Jill Pearce, was teaching a workshop in the art of overtone chanting.

	An Interview with Jonathan Miller
		The series was established in 1992 by New York designer Bonnie Cashin "to foster creative interaction between the arts and sciences." Shortly before his campus appearance, in a phone conversation from his home in London, Miller shared some of his views on science, art, and their creative interaction, or lack thereof.
		I think the passion for bringing the two together arises from the fact that there is some sort of anxiety about scientists being dehumanized or not having some sort of engagement with the ethical or the moral or whatever, but you can’t change that by giving, as it were, prophylactic doses of Thomas Mann.
		The thing about science is that it’s an accurate picture of the world.

		But Sheldrake suggests that nature is not a machine and that each kind of system - from crystals to birds to societies - is shaped not by universal laws that embrace and direct all systems but by a unique "morphic field" containing a collective or pooled memory.
		The chasm between science and religion has been a source of intellectual and spiritual tension for centuries, but in these ground breaking dialogues there is a remarkable consonance between these once opposing camps.
		In Natural Grace, Rupert Sheldrake and Matthew Fox show that not only is the synthesis of science and spirituality possible, but it is unavoidable when one considers the extraordinary insights they have both come upon in their work.
