Can a Biologist Fix a Radio?

This is not news, and I am not the first to post this, but as much it is diffuse the better it is!
here it is the : Can a Biologist Fix a Radio? (PDF - 469 KB), by Yuri Lazebnik. It’s all about how experimental biologists would try to find out how a radio works. The article suggests that an engineering-like approach would lead to a deeper understanding of how cells work (last time i have saw it reasonable deviation, also on Freelancing Science and God Plays Dice).
