 Grinnell Science Project
is committed to developing the talents of all students interested in science and mathematics, especially those from groups underrepresented in the sciences—students of color, first-generation college students, and women in physics, mathematics and computer science.
Students participating in the Grinnell Science Project see their friends all over campus— in the residence halls, in science classes, in the dining hall—throughout the first year.
Nearly 70 percent of Grinnell science majors go on to earn graduate degrees, and many are recognized nationally with prestigious pre- and postdoctoral awards.

  Physical science Summary
Physical science is an encompassing term for the branches of natural science, and science (generally), that study non-living systems, in contrast to the biological sciences.
Natural sciences generally, and physical sciences particularly, tend to be more reductionist sciences, in contrast to the more holistic social sciences; i.e., physical science tends to explain the whole system from the system's fundamental parts, whereas social science tends to explain the whole system as more than the mere sum of its fundamental parts.
Physics is the science of nature in the broadest sense, dealing with the fundamentals of matter, energy, and the forces of nature governing the interactions between particles (such as molecules, atoms, or subatomic particles).

 Philosophy over Science
Science is the product of an historic movement in Western culture away from creating theories of the causes of Cosmic phenomena and towards merely describing the immediate facts of conscious experience.
Some sciences (little s) like biology stride from strength to strength because they are based on working theories of the causes of things.
Science, containing no explanation of the causes of things, leaves it to the individual to believe in whatever causes he or she prefers--be they gods, demons, powers, alien-visitors, mathematical ideals, etc.

And the activity of many of these genes appears to be regulated by genes encoding molecules related to known environmental sensors, suggesting that the microbe can monitor the contents of the intestines and quickly deploy the molecular machinery needed for it to digest nutrients.

 The Solar FAQ: Solar Neutrinos and Other Solar Oddities
It is argued, in brief, that since the neutrino flux is wrong, there can't be enough fusion in the sun, in which case the sun can't keep shining for billions of years, so it must be recently created.
The gravitational-contraction theory was perfectly respectable mainstream science, in the 19th century.
Science may now be on the verge of disproving the substitute evolutionary model of the sun.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The University of Bologna
In the natural sciences, especially, Bologna points to a long list of distinguished men; the anatomists Achillini (1463-1512), Vesalius (1514-64), Varoli (1542-75), and Malpighi (1628-94), the botanist Aldrovandi (1522-1607), and the physicist Galvani (1737-98) are among the most illustrious.
Their control, however, ceased when the Papal States were merged in the present Kingdom of Italy.
One of the most important institutes connected with the university is the Academy of Science, established in 1690 by the generous Count Marsigli, and reorganized by Pius VIII in 1829.
