Computational Skills for Biology Students.

One of the most distressing comments has been about the simplest things: reading, interpreting, and producing graphs— simple graphs that students have seen again and again since they were in elementary and middle school. Things like bar charts and histograms are common, but certainly the kinds of graphs that come up again and again in science include those that have logarithmic and exponential scalings. These are the ones that are typically called log-log or semi-log graphs. These are used throughout biology and the rest of science to describe systems, Computational Skills for Biology Students Louis J. Gross An ActionBioscience.org original interview
