One of us introduces a chronobiology course to students at the University of Milan, Italy, with a succinct statement that may well serve to summarize the foregoing 24 points. Its few lines distill the preceding details and formulate the raison d'être of Chronobiology: Chronobiology is: not only a science in its own right; not only a methodology; not only a new kind of statistical analysis; not just an aspect of biology, but a new way of invariably approaching any problem in biology, notably medicine.
我们中的一位向意大利米兰大学的学生介绍了一门生物钟学课程，用了一句简洁的话来总结上述24点。这句话用寥寥数语提炼了之前的细节，并阐述了生物钟学存在的理由：生物钟学不仅是一门独立的科学；不仅是一种方法；不仅是一种新型的统计分析；不仅仅是生物学的一个方面，而是一种始终用来解决生物学中任何问题，尤其是医学问题的新方法。
