O Logic: born gatekeeper to the Temple of Science, victim of capricious destiny: doomed hitherto to be the drudge of pedants: come to the aid of thy master, Legislation.
Every science that has thriven has thriven upon its own symbols: logic, the only science which is admitted to have made no improvements in century after century, is the only one which has grown no symbols.
Every other science, even logic, especially in its early stages, is in danger of evaporating into airy nothingness, degenerating, as the Germans say, into an arachnoid film, spun from the stuff that dreams are made of.

 JTE - Fall 2002 v14n1 - John R. Pannabecker   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
A study by Petrina showed that science and math occupied first and second place out of 24 content areas in terms of their alignment with technology in the content of the Journal of Technology Education (1998, pp.
The specified mechanism for integrating technology with math and science was the design and fabrication of products for sale, which in the case of the instrument shop included such components as compass needles, compasses, screws, squares, and parts for cabinets or cases (AN, F12 1085, "Atelier des Instruments de Mathématiques," December 1808).
Liancourt noted that the shop foremen, "believing within themselves, like all ignorant persons, that instruction in the sciences is useless, and far from encouraging their students, are disposed to discourage them and even create in them a dislike [of the sciences]" (AN F 12 1085, "Supplementary Observations," July 12, 1806).

 African Science in School Curriculum
The rich natural science of the Kalahari bushmen, (properly called the San), could make valuable contributions to the knowledge of many of our so-called experts, most of whom do their research in "ivory towers", on all but sterile campuses, surrounded by ribbons of steel and concrete.
The primary purpose of this paper is to encourage science teachers to incorporate examples of African science and of important African-American scientists into their science lessons and to thus teach children to have equal respect for the accomplishments of all races.
In this paper African science will be considered to be a way of describing and explaining nature which has arisen within an African context and which does not rely on the purported objectivism of Western science.

 ESA Science & Technology: XMM-Newton Status Report - February 2006
The launch of MSG-2 impacted XMM-Newton operations with a loss of 6 full science orbits because the XMM-Newton ground stations were required in support of MSG-2 LEOP.
However, the total annual time lost due to launch and early orbit support of other missions is still well within the anticipated pre-launch predictions.
Following approval by the Director of Science, the PI's of the selected observations are being informed.

 Biggest star LBV 1806-20
In a National Science Foundation-funded study scheduled to be presented today at the American Astronomical Society national conference in Atlanta, the team says the star is at least as bright as the Pistol Star, the current record holder, so named for the pistol-shaped nebula surrounding it.
Whereas the Pistol Star is between 5 million and 6 million times as bright as the sun, however, the new contender, LBV 1806-20, could be as much as 40 million times the sun's brightness.
One longstanding problem with gauging the brightness of stars at great distances is that what seems at first to be one amazingly bright star turns out on closer examination to be a cluster of nearby stars.

 Innovation & Technology News - Monster magnetic star breaks records - 21/02/2005
The high-radiation flash, detected on 27 December, didn't harm Earth but would have literally fried the planet had it occurred within a few light years of home.
Two science teams, involving 20 institutes around the world including Australia, will report on the blast in the journal Nature.
The good news, he notes, is that the nearest known magnetar to Earth, 1E 2259+586, is about 13,000 light-years away.

 Internet History of Science Sourcebook
From the late 17th century until the late 19th century that vision of the cosmos was developed and filled in by what we now call "classical science".
The achievements of this period have not been negated by the discoveries and theories of the late 19th and 20th centuries, but are now seen as accurate only with certain boundaries.
This is one of the most successful, and early, statements on Materialism stemming from the conclusions of the New Science.

 Science minister berates science lobby - 01 February 1992 - New Scientist
Kenneth Clarke, the minister renowned for his bruising encounters with ambulance drivers and teachers, has now turned on scientists with a brutal verbal assault on 'the science lobby'.
In a little noticed meeting of an obscure committee in the House of Lords in November, Clarke, the Secretary of State for Education and Science, spelt out his feelings towards scientists, and towards the House of Lords Select Committee on Science and Technology.
The transcript of the discussion, with the Select Committee on the Committee Work of the House, shows that Clarke is extremely dubious about the claims scientists make for their work.

He remained at Jena until October 1806, when the city was taken by the French and he was forced to flee.
In 1818 Hegel was invited to teach at the University of Berlin, where he was to remain.
The extensive and diverse impact of Hegel's ideas on subsequent philosophy is evidence of the remarkable range and the extraordinary depth of his thought.

 Shuttle-Mir History/Science/ISS Risk Mitigation/Orbital Debris Collector (ODC)
Although a very modest effort in the context of ODC, the successful recovery and subsequent TEM analysis of space-retrieved particles is significant for planetary sciences, and specifically for the in-situ characterization of comets and asteroids, the most prominent sources of interplanetary dust.
The ODC component of the MEEP payload deployed by STS-76 on March 25, 1996 and retrieved by STS-86 on October 1, 1997 performed nominally, if not outstandingly.
With such information at hand, new, more durable materials can be developed that will help protect spacecraft from possible catastrophic impacts, saving money, as well as lives.

NASA's Mars Exploration rover Spirit continues to descend along the east side of the "Columbia Hills," taking panoramic views of surrounding terrain at the end of each day of driving.
This helps members of the science team get a sense of place before proceeding, kind of the way a hiker pauses now and then to view the scenery.
Scientists and engineers use panoramas like this to select interesting rocks and soils for further study and to plan a safe path for the rover.

As in other branches of science, the language we use to describe the battle of inflammation derives as much from our cultural heritage -- or the temper of our times -- as from the facts of nature.
By 1908, when the Nobel Prize was given to Paul Ehrlich [1854-1915] for his work on humoral immunity (antibodies) and to Elie Metchnikoff [1845-1916] for his work on cellular immunity (phagocytosis), it was clear that the body uses these two strategies in concert to identify and destroy invaders.

 Magnetar discovered
Having established that SGR 1806-20 is associated with a pulsar and is slowing, rapidly, the team asked what might fit that profile.
In science, proving what something is often involves proving what it is not.
Scientists suspected that SGRs are magnetars, but first they had to eliminate objects other than pulsars as the sources, and then eliminate possibilities other than magnetars as the answer.

 Another space record: biggest blast ever in our galaxy
Forget “Independence Day” or “War of the Worlds.” A monstrous cosmic explosion last December showed that Earth is in more danger from real-life space threats than from hypothetical alien invasions, researchers say.
The explosion wasn’t the most powerful ever recorded: that honor goes to a burst reported last June from a distant cluster of galaxies named MS 0735.6+7421 (see World Science of last Jan. 5, “Astronomers find biggest space blast ever observed.”)
But it was the brightest from Earth’s perspective, because it was so close to us, astronomers said.
