A specific example in which an interdisciplinary approach to the natural sciences has led to disaster is within the field of medicine in the 1960s‚ when the drug thalidomide was prescribed to pregnant women for morning sickness. Due to a phenomenon in chemistry called stereoisomerism‚ the manufactured drug formed two molecular structures‚ known as enantiomers. While one enantiomer was therapeutic‚ the other caused severe
