“From reductionism to realism: holistic mathematical modelling for complex biological systems” At its core, the physics paradigm adopts a reductionist approach, aiming to understand fundamental phenomena by decomposing them into simpler, elementary processes. While this strategy has been tremendously successful in physics, it has often fallen short in addressing fundamental questions in the biological sciences.…
From Noise to Music:: Context
“From Noise to Music: Reframing the Role of Context in Clinical Reasoning” Traditional perspectives on clinical reasoning (CR) have framed it as a content-specific process in which differences in the information stored in a clinician’s mind account for differences in CR performance. The finding that individual clinicians perform differently on cases with the same clinical content…
