There are all sorts of questions on science, regardless of whether it is correct or not
scientists do not like being criticized. Well, who does? But I do not mean that I do not like when people say they are biased bad, selfish or island. I hate when people say these things, because in my experience, scientists tend to be right, just, generous and - well, okay, they could do to get more information. But scientists do not like being criticized in the strict sense. In the way books and plays and music are considered, for better or for worse, by critics
After all, scientists might say, if a book or a movie is good, is a subjective call. But science is a matter of fact - whether correct or not. This attitude explains the strong contrast between the way science and art are discussed in the media. Scientists could rightly complain about journalistic errors, but also very easy to make a turn. In contrast with the gloves critical new works of art have to run, because science is reported as cut and dried. Professor X has discovered a new drug, or gossip, or a planet, and the teacher says it's incredible. Sometimes the Z teacher may be asked to recommend that the application is premature, but it's what you get through the exam.
''ve written countless stories, like me, and myself in his defense. An important part of writing is purely pedagogical science: people need to know what scientists do, and have explained to them in language that scientists have abandoned
- But the idea that science seeks to accumulate more "facts" is corrosive and dangerous, not less important to the science itself. We have been through the wars "science": a struggle between some scientists who think they are to discover the pure and timeless truths, and some sociologists who insist that all knowledge is socially constructed and therefore relative. Both ends are as nonsensical as extreme. But the legacy is that scientists have an instinctive aversion to any claim that science is shaped by culture.
So there are all sorts of questions on science, regardless of whether it is correct or not - even if it's a good place to start. Each story of the last great science illustrates this situation. In the search for Higgs boson at CERN, the sociology of what he believes and why, is central to the story. The same could be said of faster than light neutrinos. NASA's Mars Science Laboratory, now on his way to the Red Planet, carries a charge of prejudice, social and scientific, as the genome projects of man. None of this undermines science, but these hidden values ??to be ventilated.
most science journalists are not ashamed of these issues because he is not interested in them. They simply have not had the chance. For scientists, children are messages waiting to parrot the latest results. For newspaper publishers, who are nerds to the wheel and explain difficult things, and then suddenly disappear too soon to write to the leaders. Some scientists believe that only companions are the experts to judge their work. But experts rarely think the broader context. Theatre critics are, in general, neither the directors nor the actors, and not a Ph.D. from Shakespeare. And you do not have to match them. Your job is not to make absolute justice - at least, everyone with common sense reads that way - but to offer views. That's what this column will aim to do science.
