Thinking Critically About How We Do Science
NIH Director ’ s Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
Science is a beautiful rational process of highly structured inquiry that allows us to learn more about our world. By it, we see past old theories, and build new ones. We realize a phenomenon occurs because of this, and not that. Perennially the skeptic, we spar with our own internal models of how things might happen: always questioning, ever critical, rarely certain. What if we were to turn this audacious questioning towards — not science — but how we do science? Not broadly a natural phenomenon but more specifically a human phenomenon? This query is precisely what...
