The importance of science and technology to industry is presumed to be a fact of life - a relationship (basic reseach leads to applied research leads to profits, funds, and growth) whose direction of influence is questioned only in the doing.
The latter, the "ethos" of science, is that set of norms and forms of life that structure the activity of scientists across nations, disciplines, organizations or cultures.
Science remains "public" in the sense of 'not secret', but it also enters a stage of being private intellectual property first, public scientific research second.

 Physiology or Medicine 1946 - Presentation Speech
The year 1946 marks an anniversary, for it is now exactly 80 years since Gregor Mendel published his first experimental studies, in the course of which he found that characteristics were passed down independently from parent individuals, and combined themselves freely in daughter individuals.
In 1866, however, the time was hardly ripe for further development, and it was not before the turn of the century that the importance of Mendel's work was realized.
The conception that all living beings are built up of similar bricks, the cells, had been fortified, and the main features of the general structure of the cells of both plants and animals were known.

In telling some of the space science story-particularly the early years when it was emerging as a vigorous new field of activity-I hope to relate this new activity to the rest of the space program on the one hand and to science in general on the other.
On one side was the relationship of space science to science in general, while on the other were its relationships to the rest of the space program and to the social, political, and economic context.
Overlying the space science story is a most important factor, which I like to refer to as the inexorability of the scientific process, a factor that applies not only to space science, but to all science.

Martin Bauer and John Durant are analysing the coverage of science and technology in the postwar British national press.
Using detailed content analysis of 6000 press articles the objective is to characterize the fluctuations and the content of science in the news and to understand the role of editorial policy and the emergence of science journalism in the wider social and political context for this public window of science and technology.
The project includes a systematic comparison of media reportage of science and technology in Bulgaria [partners: the Bulgarian Academy of Science, Institute of Sociology] and Britain since 1946, allowing to study the symbolic cultivation of science in two totally different societal contexts.

 Mission Review
The growth of big science required capital investment in laboratories, equipment, and supporting staff that sorely tested the beneficence of the local community, and without those facilities, the University could not compete in the national arena for funds.
Many departments, particularly in the arts and sciences shrank and did not make any appointments for a decade or more as their turnover lines were shifted to other parts of the University.
Sociology and Political Science have connections to the Law School through their joint effort to explore the social and political contexts of law, and the impacts of law and the legal system on society and social belief systems.

 The Bunker Nightmare Goes Nuclear - Popular Science
On the morning of July 1, 1946, Popular Science Managing Editor Volta Torrey stood aboard the USS Appalachian near Bikini Atoll in the South Pacific, awaiting the world's fourth nuclear blast.
Torrey was one of three writers permitted to watch the 20-kiloton plutonium bomb explode over a fleet of decommissioned or captured ships; 24 days later, he witnessed the fifth-ever detonation in the same spot.
In "Taking Hell's Measurements" (Sept. 1946), Torrey wrote: "The third attack transport was really a mess.

 AAAS - History and Archives
From 1946, when Science was finally transferred to AAAS control, until 1956, when Graham DuShane assumed the editorship, the magazine floundered.
While DuShane brought some stability to Science and made many improvements in the magazine, it was his successor, Philip H. Abelson, who transformed it into the internationally-renowned scientific journal it is today.
Abelson improved Science's review process and the quality of its articles by cutting the lag time between receipt and publication of an article (in part by encouraging editors to phone prospective referees instead of writing them).

Kriya Yoga is referred to by Krishna, India's greatest prophet, in a stanza of the Bhagavad Gita: "Offering inhaling breath into the outgoing breath, and offering the outgoing breath into the inhaling breath, the yogi neutralizes both these breaths; he thus releases the life force from the heart and brings it under his control."
The yogic science is based on an empirical consideration of all forms of concentration and meditation exercises.
