Everyone is using Statistical software of some sort these days. Other software packages are being used for data modeling and simulations. Molecular geneticists are using software for DNA sequencing and analysis. Data collection is just one of the ways in which biologists use computer hardware. In addition, Amy talked about the use of digital imagery in various courses.
Students are able to film the reproductive cycles of various life forms.
Once captured, the student can refer to the film for analysis. Likewise, students are also capable of capturing images seen through the lens of a microscope. There are also tremendous advantages to using digital images. Amy also spoke of work done at Cornell to photograph floral traits of tomatoes. In addition to regular course material, some even link to tutorials from other disciplines.
