	Critique of Science's Perspectives on Vesuvius
		Science writers need to be reminded that very often the best ideas in science come from those outside of the so-called "reputable establishments" and that to discover the truth one must be vigilant and intellectually astute of paradigm shifts.
		The results of seismic tomography quoted in the Science's perspectives on Vesuvius are therefore an outcome of ad-hoc experimentation which hoped to locate large batches of magma under Vesuvius while the physical modeling approach based on global simulation demonstrates that such large batches cannot exist in the superficial regions of the volcano [8].
		Science cannot flourish in the darkness; in order to make its growth possible one must be ready to fight indifference, belittling, and erroneous reporting at every step.

	Science Quotes
		Science is nothing but trained and organized common sense differing from the latter only as a veteran may differ from a raw recruit: and its methods differ from those of common sense only as far as the guardsman's cut and thrust differ from the manner in which a savage wields his club.
		Science is facts; just as houses are made of stone, so is science made of facts; but a pile of stones is not a house, and a collection of facts is not necessarily science.
		Poetry is opposed to science, and prose to meter.

	Chapter 1 - Bibliography
		Intense competition for funding and commercial influences on science have made it more difficult for scientists to live up to ethical standards.
		This empirical study of scientists' behavior and the consequences for the progress of science focuses attention on secrecy as a mechanism of enhancing a laboratory's relative position and its consequences for society as a whole.
		The free and open sharing of information, data, and materials regarding published research is vital to the replication of published results, the efficient advancement of science, and the education of students.

	Science Timeline
		In 1678, Huygens, in a communication to the Academie des Science, propounded a wave theory of light propagated through 'aether,' and held that every point on a wave is itself a source of new waves.
		In 1679, Denis Papin devised a vessel in which the boiling point of water is raised by an increase in steam pressure.
		Thus the connections which science establishes are "entirely arbitrary," and the "utmost effort of human reason is to reduce the principles, productive of natural phenomena, to a greater simplicity" (Hume 1738:30).

	CSPO - Consortium For Science, Policy & Outcomes - Perspectives
		The 1960s are frequently referred to as a “golden age” for science and technology (SandT) because of the tremendous growth in federal funding for research and development (RandD) (1).
		If science policies are to be informed by on a comprehensive picture of trends in support for RandD, then it makes sense that those trends are well understood and interpreted.
		Understanding federal funding for science and technology requires that budgets be compiled from the various budgets of agencies that support science and technology.

	The Council of Science Editors (CSE) - Services: Authorship Task Force
		He was referring to his fellow physicists, yet, writing in 1973 on modern science and the intellectual tradition, the physicist and historian of science Gerald Holton noted that the typical physicist now often belonged to "a sizeable group working under a contract with a substantial budget"(5).
		Contemporary sociological understanding of science suggests that many scientists believe there are distinctive norms that guide their practice, but that a major gap exists between scientists’ self-representation and the representations of scientists by those who study them (10).
		Another inequity lies in funding for clinical research, which – as compared with funds for basic biomedical science – has been relatively hard come by, enhancing the conviction within academic medicine that MDs in general, and clinical investigators in particular, are at a disadvantage when competing for NIH grants (22).

		The resulting exhibition is a surprising dialogue between science and the visual arts which may offer clues to the creative process itself.
		In uniting the two distinct disciplines of art and science, this exhibition reveals some of the common threads between the creation of art and the process of scientific investigation and technological invention.
		The arrangement of these scientific texts side by side with their artistic offspring is a way of emphasizing aspects of creativity that are common to science as well as to art.

		According to Hogg, a physicist, the empirical support for evolution is limited to a few experiments on fruit flies and is altogether lacking in predictive tests and falsifiable hypotheses.
		Put briefly, scientific theories are postulated to explain scientific facts (observations so thoroughly confirmed that they are considered "true").
		That organisms share a common evolutionary history is as much an established fact as any other in science, and the theory of evolution seeks to elucidate the mechanism or mechanisms by which this has occurred.

	Phenomenon of Science: Chap. 11
		This work was published posthumously in 1679, but it had been known to French mathematicians as early as the 1630s, somewhat earlier than Descartes' mathematical works.
		Considering also that of all those who have hitherto sought for the truth in the Sciences, it has been the mathematicians alone who have been able to succeed in making any demonstrations, that is to say, producing reasons which are evident and certain.
		But as Newton said, ''If I have seen further than Descartes, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.'' This is, of course, evidence of the modesty of a brilliant scientist but it is also a recognition of the debt of the first great successes to the pioneers who showed the way.

	Voyages: Dampier
		William Dampier, an orphan of Weymouth, England, spent twelve and a half years as a pirate, plundering ships in the West Indies and Central America, and eventually making his way across the Pacific to the Philippines, the East Indies, and Australia.
		Having set out in 1679, he returned home in 1691 and published his carefully-kept journal in 1697; it proved to be a sensation.
		Dampier may have been a buccaneer, but he was such an astute observer of people, places, and natural history that his works are often included with the publications of more explicitly scientific expeditions.
