	Science and Technology Policy Yearbook: Chapter 27: US Science Policy and Science Advice, 1840-1878
		Although Henry never ceased thinking of himself as a research scientist and educator, thereafter his chief roles were those of science administrator and de facto advisor to both the executive and legislative branches of government on all aspects of science and technology.
		Although some Administrations were more friendly to science than others (the Fillmore Administration was particularly active scientifically), it was often the individual Secretary who decided the role of science in his area of responsibility.
		The standard history of science and the federal government is A. Hunter Dupree, Science in the Federal Government: A History of Policies and Activities to 1940 (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1957).

	Bernard Ramm: The Imperative Necessity of a Harmony of Christianity and Science
		It was the century of the founding of sciences, of the development of the sciences, of the birth of many fundamental theories of science, of the creation of remarkable experiments.
		Science courses and scientific laboratories on the grand scale now found in the modern university are strictly phenomena of the twentieth century.
		The sure advance of empirical data, and the analytic mentality modern science developed in her devotees, could not be coerced or routed by ridicule or wholesale depreciation of science.

	Thoreau and Science
		But even as he tracks science beck to the scientists, and recalls his earlier, Baconian belief that the "poet uses the results of science and philosophy, and generalizes their widest deductions," he goes on now to formulate his clearest understanding of the importance of method.
		Thoreau's grasp of science and it's procedures during the years 1846 and 1847 is very much like Darwin's when the latter says that "science consists in grouping facts so that general laws or conclusions may be drawn from them." It is not quite so easy, of course.
		His attitude toward science is now quite complex, indeed two-sided, because he is, from this time in his life onward, both a person interested in science and scientific methods, interested in knowing nature, and a writer or artist whose main aim is to express, describe or tell nature.

	February 13, 1998, Hour 2: 150 Years of Science
		In September of 1848, the American Association for the Advancement of Science was officially organized.
		The group had been born in 1819 as the American Geolgical Society (changed to the Association of American Geologists in 1840, and to the Association of American Geologists and Naturalists in 1842).
		If you had attended the first meeting in 1840, you would have been able to hear talks like "On some recent improvements in recording magnetic telegraphs" by W.R. Johnson, "A Discourse on the Flexible Surface" by B. Pierce, and "On the Phonetic Apparatus of the Cricket" by L. Agassiz.

	Problem-based Learning in Science
		The theme of science education reform is to understand science as ways of thinking and doing as well as bodies of knowledge.
		In science, you often pursue directions that are different from your primary focus and wind up discovering things that might be related, like a gene that's important in the fruit fly or worm that's also found in humans.
		Above all, Gallagher (1995) emphasizes, PBL is a curricular and instructional approach which successfully resolves the seemingly contradictory demands of science education reform in a way that is true to the discipline of science, its process, and the larger goals of educating an independent reasoning citizenry.

	Review Articles: March 1976
		Such readers may conclude, after studying the selections of science journalism, that though Wells was obviously a talented writer, he was no profound thinker--a familiar criticism.
		One of the problems is that science journalism dates so fast--Arthur Clarke's Profiles of the Future, which has stayed in print for years and been taken seriously by professional prognosticators of the future, will suffer such a fate.
		The Early Writings in Science and Science Fiction is an invaluable aid to understanding this science fiction.

	An Examination of Science and Mathematics Competitions
		The program was designed to generate enthusiasm for science and engineering among middle/junior high school students, improve students’ knowledge of science, engineering, and renewable energy concepts, and encourage students to consider technical careers.
		The goals of the competition are to encourage the study of science as a lifelong process, to encourage young people to think about earth’s environment, to teach the use of the processes of science, to train youth in organization and completion of tasks, and to promote the enjoyment of science.
		Goals include improving the quality of science education, increasing student interest in science, providing recognition for outstanding achievement in science education for students and teachers, and bringing academic competition to the same level of recognition and praise normally reserved for athletic competitions.
