Hello,
I'm a biology major/chemistry minor, with about 3 semesters left. I was reading this article about advancements between biology and computer science. And I started thinking that maybe I should minor in comp sci, just as a way to open more opportunities. Is this a bad idea? Should I not bother with comp sci? Does it give me a bit more of an edge in the fields I want to venture into? Can someone give me better insight into computer science in the biological and medical fields?
Also, I so far really like being in a lab, doing research and such. Is there a way to kind of combine the two fields?
