It's possible those other fields simply can't sustain a dedicated sub-discipline department, whereas biomedicine can. | |

| Nov 10, 2010 at 18:24 | comment | added | Matt Parker | Right, but there are applications of statistical methodologies in every discipline. Why does biostatistics exist (in the US, at least) as a semi-distinct discipline? | |
