  APS Observer - Alternative Futures for Our Science
Fine illustrations of this kind were in the program of the present conference, for example in meetings dealing with "social cognitive neuroscience" — and notice that from its title on that it juxtaposes social and cognitive and neuroscience all in one unhyphenated breath.
For me, the classic partitioning most unnatural and destructive to the building of a cumulative science of mind and social behavior is the one that traditionally has split the person apart from the situation, treating each as if it were an independent cause of behavior.
In such a science, the person and the situation — always the perceived, construed, psychological situation — have to be conceptualized and analyzed in tandem, not artificially partitioned into separate entities or split into different sub-disciplines with separate training programs and missions.

The debate over whether ID is science or not and whether evolution theory is an adequate explanation for life on this planet is actually not the point of this trial.
A statement, read as an introduction to science, clarifying the importance of keeping science and belief separate, but equally important avenues of academic endeavor, is not itself a problem.
This does science as much a disservice as the proponents of ID are doing to their beliefs by pursuing that pre-science statement.

 Mammoth-age bacteria wriggle again, Alaska Science Forum
Ned Rozell is a science writer at the institute.
Richard Hoover knew he was looking at organisms that were alive when the wooly mammoth and saber-toothed cat roamed Alaska, but he didn’t expect to see them born again.
In these samples, he found bacteria not known to science that began moving when he thawed the ice sample.

Science is a long process of attempting to find the right answer.
To throw out evolution (or any science) for not having all the answers at some arbitrary point in history is to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
Let's evaluate it critically, as we should all science: here is the evidence, here is a postulation as to the why this evidence is, here are some problems with the theory.

 MLX Package #1739: Forensic Science Skills Acquisition
My project consisted of classroom lectures and practical exercises in crime scene reconstruction and forensic science topics at the Massachusetts State Police Academy and the Annual Educational Conference of the International Association for Identification in Dallas.
My summer project consisted of classroom lectures and practical exercises in crime scene reconstruction and forensic science at the Massachusetts State Police Academy and the Annual Educational Conference of the International Association for Identification in Dallas.
The experience allowed me to view and understand the fields of crime scene investigation and forensic science from the perspectives of both the practitioner and student because I became a student and my fellow students were also practitioners.

Researchers filled seven papers in the Dec. 15 Science with descriptions of just a tiny fraction of the roughly 10,000 dust grains captured.
Frank Shu of the University of California, San Diego has conjectured that jets of gas or a strong wind generated by the newborn sun hurled into space molten dust particles from the inner disk.

 Science and Pseudoscience
Use of science to support ideology, or false claim that an ideology is scientific (extreme Marxism).
So the standard is not proof "beyond reasonable doubt," as in criminal cases, but "preponderance of the evidence." Ideas in science do not have to be proven to the satisfaction of every doubter, nor do minor anomalies serve to undermine a theory if the evidence in favor of it is strong.
In science, the person in the best position to document that a theory is wrong is the doubter, therefore, the burden of proof in science is on the challenger.

 State of Rhode Island: Governor Donald L. Carcieri: 
The legislation requires the Board of Regents to develop a science curriculum that could then be utilized by all school districts in the state.
The Board of Regents is in the process of finalizing a similar statewide curriculum for math and English Language Arts, which is expected to be completed in August.
Establishing a statewide science curriculum was one of the key recommendations made last year by Governor Carcieri’s Blue Ribbon Panel on Math & Science Education to improve education in math and science.

 PLANETARY SCIENCE: AGAINST STANDING MARTIAN WATER
On the basis of these observations, the MER science team[1,2] has interpreted the bedrock as siliciclastic sediments deposited in a shallow body of briny water, with subsequent evaporation leaving behind sulphate minerals.
They inferred that the rocks are composed of roughly 50 wt% siliciclastic material derived from basaltic rocks, 40 wt% evaporite sulphates, and 10 wt% haematite[2].

 Busting the Sugar-Hyperactivity Myth
Many concerned parents and health organizations believe there is a link between a child's diet and behavior.
The latest group to join the debate is the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest, which recently released a report charging that the government, professional agencies and the food industry have been ignoring evidence that diet affects behavior.
However, the majority of studies so far haven't found a connection, and most in the medical industry maintain there is no known link between sugar and hyperactivity.

"The lessons of science should be experimental also.
