Life and Health Sciences
Wikipedia® informs us that Life Sciences “comprise the branches of science that involve the scientific study of living organisms – such as microorganisms, plants, animals, and human beings – as well as related considerations like bioethics; whereas Health Sciences are applied sciences that address the use of science, technology, engineering or mathematics in the delivery of healthcare to human beings.” As technology evolves and we pay greater care and attention our physical selves, our health and wellbeing, information and knowledge on these sciences and related issues has become accessible at the click of a mouse; hence the “recent” development of this area. It covers biology, bioengineering, genetics, medicine, and each of their sub-sets, as well as alternative medicine and other disciplines and practices, whether regulated or not, which have an effect on our health and wellbeing.
