Science is a creative, artistic endeavor that perpetuates itself on wonder, exploration, experimentation, failure, revision, self-evaluation, and learning.
We, who teach the children science, must bear the burden of over-emphasis on the “essential” content and facts, on “getting through the material” and on being slaves to time and resources.
We science teachers must return to the reason we became scientists in the first place &mdash the unquenchable need to figure out the puzzles before us — and we need to preserve this type of learning in young students while we work to cultivate it at the high school and college level.

 Where No Man Has Gone Before, Ch11-5   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
As the first lunar science conference was meeting in Houston, Jim McDivitt, manager of MSC's Apollo spacecraft program office, took note of scientists' frequent complaints that MSC was unable or unwilling to accommodate changes in the experiment program.
He intended to establish a schedule for each mission, "to provide information to the science world which will discipline their inputs to our schedule needs," and to establish an Experiments Review Group, which was to consider new or late experiments for the missions to recommend MSC policy on experiment changes.
MSC immediately followed up on the February meeting by establishing a Science Working Panel to be the single forum in which science requirements and operational restrictions would be reconciled and adjusted.

Science in American Life explores the developments in science during the 20th century that have changed and challenged American society.
As Sting put it, "Never saw no miracle of science that didn't go from a blessing to a curse." The panels did present opposing points of view and the harmful effects of some of the inventions.
The theme of this section was science's increasing visibility and public reaction to it.

 Science Fiction Book Reviews
All of the selections were published after 1970, something Hartwell and Broderick attribute (in their introductions) to the relatively late emergence of Australian writers in the SF field.
As the editors point out, prior to 1970 the science fiction writer most closely identified with Australia was American author Cordwainer Smith.
The first professional Australian science fiction magazine was founded in 1981, and while it lasted only until 1987, two new ones began publishing in 1990 (Aurealis and Eidolon).

Considering the vital importance of plants and plant science to our civilization and to liberal arts and pre-professional programs, the de-emphasis of plant biology and the virtual elimination of botany from many colleges and universities should be a matter of serious concern to everyone interested in American education.
Although physics and chemistry recognize their interrelationships, and courses exist in borderline fields as they do in the biological sciences, the borderline fields are not regarded as the new sacred theology nor do physicists and chemists force a fusion of their departments to the detriment of one or both sciences.
The Mary Soper Pope Medal of the Cranbrook Institute of Science, Michigan, was presented to William C. Steere, Director of the New York Botanical Garden, for his out-standing contributions to the field of botany.

 Science Magazine: Tragedy of the Commons? -- Web Resources   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
On 13 December 1968, the late Garrett Hardin published an essay in Science that was destined to become one of the journal's most requested articles in the subsequent 35 years.
In addition to spurring discussion in the realm of population studies and the environment, Hardin's "Tragedy of the Commons" essay served up a powerful metaphor for a variety of situations at the nexus of science and society, in realms ranging from biomedicine to university administration to the Internet.
Here is a small sample of Science research papers and policy articles during the past several years that have taken the notion of the commons as their jumping-off point.

 Kansas Science Standards   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Today, still true to their past commitment to despotism, the science groups who are trying to impose a sweeping, bio-centered science curriculum "synthesizing" the three essential dogmas of eugenics --- Darwinian evolution, population genetics and Malthusian scarcity(10)---permit no discussion of the weakness of scientific proof for any of these theories.
Their activities are murderous attempts to use evolutionary biology as "proof" that people are not all created equal,(26) and therefore, not entitled to the right to life,(27) or to freedom from human experimentation.(28) Eugenics succeeds by carefully denying altogether the "personhood" of some people, such as the aborted unborn and corporate-owned human embryos.
They teach the beliefs of Huxley and other eugenicists that that science is "unified" in evolutionary biology(61)---including physics, chemistry, earth and space science and even health--- while repeatedly teaching school children a psychology of "scarcity" during the thirteen-year curriculum(62) Kindergarten through Grade 12.

OMNI began in 1988, when members of the former Science Bureau of the New York State Education Department encouraged the College at Oneonta to consider hosting mentor networks for Physics and Earth Science.
At that time, a new Regents Physics syllabus was being implemented and the 1970 Earth Science Syllabus was slated for revision.
