What does programming have to do with animals?

Humans are animals, and humans invented programming. Therefore, programming is applied biology.

Descart: What an excellent time to be long dead and therefore not need to even think about this logical abomination of a sentence!

Science researchers and students often spend a lot of their time doing statistical analysis, including using programming for that.

Bayesian analysis of complex intelligent systems via friston's free energy principle and active inference? Or machine learning?

Personally love the stuff circling Michael Levin at tufts university. I could also imagine there's a lot of unique model building in different biological/ecological niches.

Probably Python and R for statistical analysis, which is common nowadays in most empirical sciences.
