JoinScience 101: How much overlap is there across science disciplines?
You often will hear that physics, chemistry, biology, and Earth science have a lot in common. In fact, many science curriculum programs stress how these disciplines are integrated and have common concepts and themes. More evidence of this integration comes from the fact that one can study and do research in biochemistry, biophysics, geophysics, and all sorts of other “cross-field” undertakings. So yes, the different disciplines can have a lot in common.
