	SCIENCE STUDIES THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS:
		The ongoing "Science Wars" that pits the amalgam of sociologists and cultural critics of science known as "Science and Technology Studies" (STS) against scientists and their philosophical well-wishers was a verbal collision waiting to happen.
		Not surprisingly, Merton first presented his sociology of science in 1942 to counter Soviet and Nazi claims that the character of science was determined by the class or race of the people practicing it, and hence scientific validity was directly tied to some form of cultural superiority.
		Mach was a liberal democrat who feared that science's original Enlightenment mission of enabling individuals to judge rationally for themselves the most efficient means to their chosen ends was being thwarted as science was encouraged to set uniform standards of technical competence for society at large.

	Science Quotes
		Science is nothing but trained and organized common sense differing from the latter only as a veteran may differ from a raw recruit: and its methods differ from those of common sense only as far as the guardsman's cut and thrust differ from the manner in which a savage wields his club.
		Science is facts; just as houses are made of stone, so is science made of facts; but a pile of stones is not a house, and a collection of facts is not necessarily science.
		Experimental science is the queen of sciences and the goal of all speculation.

		Considering this historical background, the main aim of restructuring Estonian science is to form a balanced system of research, serving both the community and science in general.
		Science is an international activity and that is considered to be vital for such a small country as Estonia.

	Science Fiction
		For example, if we require that "science fiction" be in some sense fiction about modern science and technology (which seems a reasonable demand), then the genre could not have begun until the late18th century.
		And the first bonafide science fiction classic is probably Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus (1818)--a gothic tale of technoscientific aspiration, hubris, and retribution that continues to gain fans not only in Hollywood (five different productions in the 1990s!) but among contemporary SF readers as well.
		Although the label "science fiction" was never actually applied to literary products until the 1920s (when it was used, as Vonnegut implies, to identify exotic tales of imagination and adventure published in juvenile-oriented pulp magazines), the genre can easily be expanded to include some of the oldest and most distinguished works of world literature.

		His father objected to the voyage, regarding it as a waste of time, but was persuaded by Josiah Wedgwood II to agree to his son's participation.
		This established his reputation as a naturalist and made him one of the precursors of the field of ecology, particularly the notion of biocoenosis.
		Towards the end of November 1838 he compared breeders selecting traits to a Malthusian Nature selecting from variants thrown up by "chance" so that "every part of newly acquired structure is fully practised and perfected", and thought this "the most beautiful part of my theory" of how species originated.

		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.

	Science Quotes
		The impossibility of separating the nomenclature of a science from the science itself, is owing to this, that every branch of physical science must consist of three things; the series of facts which are the objects of the science, the ideas which represent those facts, and the words by which these ideas are expressed.
		When we begin the study of any science, we are in a situation, respecting that science, similar to that of children; and the course by which we have to advance is precisely the same which Nature follows in the formation of their ideas.
		In Germany in 1838, a wife prepared some soup for her husband which she laced with phosphorus-laced rat poison; she then left it out for him to eat when he came home from work, while she went out to visit relatives.

	Rocky Road: Charles Darwin
		In fact, Darwin devised no great evolutionary theory until after his return to England, and he was not the first person to propose evolution; it was widely discussed — at least in scientific circles — long before he published any of his theories.
		When the kids were older, he enlisted their help in conducting experiments; to study cross-pollination, Darwin had them sprinkle bumblebees with flour and chase after the bugs to see where they headed next.
		Darwin's casual curiosity transmogrified into an eight-year commitment during which he dissected hundreds of barnacles, established friendships throughout the science community, published four volumes and became the world's foremost barnacle expert.
