Fantastic article on Alton Brown at, of all places, Chemical and Engineering News.

A snippet: Brown considers cooking the ultimate applied science because everything relates to chemistry, biology, or physics. “Cooking is a switchboard to everything. There is nothing about human existence that doesn’t tap into food or that doesn’t pass through food. I’ve gone into biology classes where we dissected a chicken instead of a fetal pig. Why? Because you’ll see it again. Knowing how to cut up a chicken actually matters. When will you see a fetal pig again?”

I could have stood to dissect a chicken rather than a formaldehyde-stinking fish.
