 Benjamin Franklin’s Science—In Public and Private
He was now someone with wealth and leisure enough to pursue science, not as part of his daily work (as he had done as a printer), but as a significant activity in and for itself.
Historians of science are interested in all that too, but they also investigate how science was done: what people could and would do it, what intellectual and physical constraints define their efforts, what questions they thought they were answering, whether those questions have a place in science now.
Public support for science took a hit with the American Revolution—the private donors who were based in or had connections to Britain were less likely to take an interest in Americans once the colonists turned into rebels.

That piece of sheepskin is proof positive that you've mastered some arcane piece of science, perhaps the intricacies of signal trans-duc-tion or the mysteries of quantum mechanics.
Perhaps most disturbing in Science's talks with postdocs was the number of angry Ph.D.s, some afraid to speak on the record for fear of backlash down the road, who felt their plight was being ignored.
Even though his fellowship pays slightly more than NIH levels, West told Science, "one of the reasons I'm leaving is because I'm not getting paid enough for this area." And it's not because West is in a slow field-he does AIDS research.

 Prize lectures
During its history, the Society has received a number of endowments to fund prize lectures in various areas of the sciences, for example microbiology, electrical sciences and technology and the history and philosophy of science.
The premier lectures of the Royal Society are the Croonian Lecture (the premier lecture in the Biological Sciences) and the Bakerian Lecture (the premier lecture in the Physical Sciences).
Lecturers are usually selected one year in advance of the year in which the lecture will be given, so for example a lecturer selected by the 2006 Committee will deliver their lecture in 2007.

However necessary the conduct of the art thus was to the eventual development of the science, it is almost exclusively with the science of hydraulics that the present article will deal.
Hagen, however, had remarked in an 1854 paper [36] that the flow was not always laminar, the efflux jet sometimes being clear and sometimes frosty; similarly, sawdust suspended in the water sometimes moved in straight lines and sometimes very irregularly; in the latter instances he noted that his resistance equation no longer applied.
America's prime contribution was in fact the broadening of hydraulics science to include both a reasonable degree of analytical rigor and experimental verification of the physical analysis.

 Human Knowledge: Foundations and Limits
Science is about truth that is not necessary but rather contingent, because it is based on actual observations and inductions about regular or pattern-following phenomena in the universe.
Social sciences strive to induce truths that would apply to any kind of person anywhere in the universe, but this is not always possible because humans know of only one kind of person: humans.
Science depends on the epistemological principle of skepticism, and any "conflict" between science and religion is really a conflict between skepticism and faith (or mysticism).

 Is Quantum Mechanics relevant to understanding consciousness?:A review of "Shadows of the Mind" by Roger ...
In connection with this third topic, I will argue that although Penrose is probably wrong about the physics of quantum mechanics being relevant to the (third person) neural correlates of awareness, the metaphysics of quantum mechanics may be essential to understanding the (first person) subjective nature of consciousness.
I believe that the metaphysical underpinnings of quantum mechanics are crucial for a deep understanding of consciousness and the connection between mind and brain.
Stapp (1993) and Penrose would like this association to be in the realm of science; Klein (1992, 1993) has argued that it could be in the realm of metaphysics.

 Combinatorial chemistry moves beyond pharmaceuticals
In the materials science area, combinatorial methods have been used to generate large libraries that led to the discovery of superconductors, phosphors, and electronic materials (6–12).
Although significant rate enhancements were found with different ratios and combinations of carboxylic acids, the random synthesis scheme made it impossible to identify the most active catalyst using deconvolution.
Other early applications of combinatorial chemistry to homogeneous catalysis are more akin to techniques used in the life sciences (1, 14).

 Movie Review for The Science Of Sleep
With the semi-autobiographical The Science Of Sleep—and without Charlie Kaufman to lean on—he is left to his own devices, and ecstatically bangs it out of the park.
The Science Of Sleep is a near-perfect mix of fantasy and brutal honesty, with alluring visuals to lessen the blow of the punches.
The key difference between The Science Of Sleep and Eternal Sunshine is that this movie is not about two people who are madly in love and struggling to make it work; it's about two people that really shouldn't be together and at least one of them knows it.

 NYPL, The Newtonian Moment: Science and the Making of Modern Culture   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
The diffusion of Newtonian ideas prior to Newton’s death in 1727 was confined to the domain of mathematicians and natural philosophers as well as to a small circle of educated men who had acquired a taste for such studies.
What made Voltaire so effective an agent – apart from an unparalleled ability to seduce an audience by a masterful combination of shock and wit – was that he was neither a mathematician nor a physicist, but a literary giant aloof from the academic disputes over Newtonian ideas.
In other words, Voltaire’s stature as an amateur in matters of science was the source of his contemporary appeal, demonstrating for the first time the accessibility of Newton’s ideas to nonspecialists.

It’s a long time since I wrote about the rise of European chemistry in a feature article for Science magazine (Science 18 June 1993 260: 1738-1739), and it seems that this conference has been a long time coming.

 Experts predict 100% job growth for computer science graduates
For those specializing in networks and computer systems administration, Bureau of Labour Statistics projects their percentage job opportunity to be 82 with computer systems analysts settling 60 per cent growth rate.
Experts say this favourable job growth statistics is capable of inducing students preference for computer related courses at the expense of other science courses especially in countries like Nigeria where unemployment rates are high.
The high prospects of job growth for computer experts is premised on the fact that computers are so pervasive to the extent that a computer science degree gives holder the opportunity to make an impact in the world of science, business, health care, education, the law, art, entertainment, or almost anything else that interests.
