Abstract

Educational uses of microcomputers are of growing importance in the biomedical sciences as well as in biology. This editorial discusses some of the special aspects related to the teaching in medical, dental, veterinary, and other health-related professional schools. These applications could have future impact upon other biological education. This article also offers an optimistic prophesy. Biomedical faculty who acquire personal computers for word processing and research applications will begin to appreciate the computational power of these machines. Computers can deduce the consequences of explicitly-stated hypotheses. My projection is that familiarity with logic-based tools will encourage the practice of logical deduction, and so eventually elevate the level of rigor in biology.
