Question: Chris what is modelling biology and why wouldn't you use the winnings on scientific research not chips

Chris Needham answered on 15 Mar 2010:

Modelling biology can be many things. For example, if we can create a model on the computer of how something works, and use it to predict how the real biological system would behave, then it can be very useful, and increase our understanding of what’s important.

The winnings would go towards educating students and the exchange of scientific ideas internationally between british and chinese students. The chips involved aren’t potato chips, see my earlier response.
