Martin Rees in the third of this year's Reith lectures has a good quote about reductionism in Science.
"You can not understand the concept of time by taking apart a timepiece."
Think about this when coaching athletes. You can not reduce everything to the cellular level or analyse things in a lab, without looking at the overall athletic movement.

For those of you wondering how science fits into society, and how it will affect us all in the 21st Century, then you might like listening to the Reith lectures on Radio 4.
