Where is Science going?

Browsing Nature's blogs at network.nature.com/blogs/tags I got shocked. I've found these keywords at the top ranking:
# virology
# evolution
# microbiology
# genetics
# transplantation
Am I at biotechnology area? No, this is general science area.

In 1933 Albert Einstein and Max Planck (the grandfather of Quantum Physics) wrote a book entitled "Where is Science Going?". In that years science was a synonym of physics as stated in this book. First decades of 20th century science were flooded with quantum mechanics issues because this new discipline were going to touch the philosophical foundations of our world. Ontology and Epistemology were to be reviewed in depth.

Now a days, it seems Science has become a synonym for bioengineering. I am not saying biology but bioengineering. What are the reasons that cause that? Is bioengineering shaking the roots of our world, like quantum physics did a hundred years ago?

You just think about it for a second ...

A hundred years ago, physicists had the same economic handicaps to do science than any other scientists. Einstein's paycheck at Princeton was the same amount than Kurt Gödel. Of course, I exclude Oppenheimer in this ranking. Einstein and Gödel were doing Science. Oppi did Engineering. Quite different.

Current situation is that Bioengineering is a gold mine, but other scientific areas remain forgotten. AdWords statistics show us that one of the most profitable business currently is Cancer. In order to develop new techniques and treatments for Cancer, bioengineering is required. Far from being a philosophical event, Bioengineering rush in Science is a purely economical matter.

So, the question is: Should the greed rule the fate and future of Science?
