	HSCI 1815 \|\| Intro to History of Science
		A second introduction is a sample case study to exhibit the multple dimensions of science.
		For methods, we focus on the emergence of controlled experiments (John Snow's studies of cholera, following Mill's method of difference) and statistical significance tests (Edgeworth's analysis of the "law of error" and the difference of means).
		Each case was also selected (from among a handful of possibilities) to contain an element of surprise, and to help illustrate the variety of influences on science, from a hobby in photography (C.T. Wilson) or medieval accounting practices (control) to the tax system in France (Lavoisier) and the shapes of noses (Darwin).

	HOS: 1. What is Science (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Neither will science be understood to be abstract theories such as found in astrophysics or elementary particle physics that are practically beyond understanding by anyone outside the few specialists working at the frontiers of these specializations.
		Then can science be defined by looking at the range of activities "scientists do." Many of us would be hard-pressed to say much more about the nature of science than that science is whatever it is scientists do for a living.
		A descriptive definition was said to be that science is what is "accepted by the scientific community" and is "what scientists do." The obvious implication of this description is that, in a free society, knowledge does not require the imprimatur of legislation in order to become science.

		Ampère, a teacher at Paris, has his permanent place in the history of science because it was his name that was given to the unit by which we measure electrical current.
		Humanist, atheist and science popularizer, Julian Huxley, a Professor of Zoology, was the brother of Aldous Huxley and grandson of Thomas H. Huxley.
		Kelvin's research in the transmission of electric current was to lead to the laying down of submarine cables, the ultimate one being that laid down on the floor of the Atlantic.

	SHiPS \|\| Science & Gender \| Book Reviews
		Although much of the early history of women as practitioners of science is steeped in myth, scholarly investigation has put the stamp of approval on a number of stories.
		Another reason for declining interest in the sciences is indicated by a recent study of 1983-1991 graduates of Wellesley College, a women's college with a high proportion of graduates seeking advanced degrees [4].
		According to the study the so-called "chilly climate" that could lead capable women to give up a scientific career did not appear to be a crucial factor in their decision not to seek scientific careers.
