    It is often said that biologists are terrified of numbers this is not true. Quite a number of biological disciplines require a lot of maths, e.g. ecology, evolution, genetics. Any research done is not really valid unless it is statistically analysed.

    Never say never. Ecologists deal with mathematical equations a lot. So do geneticists. Many biologists use statistics to show that their results are unlikely to be due to chance.

    True. The Dog has defeated the researchers in the life sciences. Scientist can not speak science.

    False. We use statistical methods just like everyone else.
