Is this not counter to the "physics first”?

Furthermore, is not Al’s claim demeaning to bio. and chem.?


Bio. doesn’t do population dynamics and Mendelian ratios, etc.

And how about balancing equations? (JD has a page on this.) Also diffusion and radio. decay. (included in the chem. I taught at North High, and wan’t “even” AP)
