	Putting Soul into Science, Chapter 1
		Science was criticized in the sixties and seventies, especially by sociologists, from a Marxist point of view.
		The development of science was considered to be a result of society possessing a class structure in which such a development occurred; for example it was stated in the British "Radical Science Journal"(see Bob Young 1977) that "science is social relations".
		Science is social relations, but social relations in a much wider framework, in which they are not only relations with other human beings (including those between a scientist and other scientists) and groups of human beings, but also with the world of nature as well as that of pure ideas.

	An Essay on Science Service, 1977 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Though the sciences of less spectacular phenomena were not as popular as the sciences of exotic phenomena, they received a great deal of attention as well.
		The confusion of science with technology inevitable results in the association of science with the deleterious, as well as beneficial effects of technology, yielding mixed attitudes in the public's image of science.
		Perhaps the American public was jaded with the commonplace benefits of applied science, and found a glimmer of excitement and romance in the intellectual adventures of the astronomer and the archeologist as they pursued horizons which seemed always to recede beyond their grasp.

	NAEP 1999 Trends in Academic Progress: Three Decades of Student Performance (Executive Summary)
		Generally, the trends in mathematics and science are characterized by declines in the 1970s, followed by increases during the 1980s and early 1990s, and mostly stable performance since then.
		In 1999, males outperformed females in science at ages 13 and 17, but the average score for male students was not significantly higher than that of female students at age 9.
		Science course-taking among 17-year-olds increased between 1986 and 1999 at all levels of course work -- general science, biology, chemistry, and physics.

	A Physicist Experiments With Physical Studies
		I recognised in 1977 the fundamental epistemological errors, the obscurantist character, the anti-science effect (though not intention), and the grave social dangers of the post-modern relativism preached by the disciplines now known as “science-studies”, and I struggled to combat them.
		I regret that Science has endorsed one such erroneous paradigm, that of T. Kuhn (Wade, N. “Thomas S. Kuhn: Revolutionary Theorist of Science”, Science 197, 143-145, 8 July 1977), and suggest that a serious reconsideration of these fundamental issues be carried out urgently.
		Science serves its readers as a forum for the presentation and discussion of important issues related to the advancement of science, including the presentation of minority or conflicting points of view, rather than by publishing only material on which a consensus has been reached.

	African Science in School Curriculum
		The rich natural science of the Kalahari bushmen, (properly called the San), could make valuable contributions to the knowledge of many of our so-called experts, most of whom do their research in "ivory towers", on all but sterile campuses, surrounded by ribbons of steel and concrete.
		The primary purpose of this paper is to encourage science teachers to incorporate examples of African science and of important African-American scientists into their science lessons and to thus teach children to have equal respect for the accomplishments of all races.
		In this paper African science will be considered to be a way of describing and explaining nature which has arisen within an African context and which does not rely on the purported objectivism of Western science.

	Goethean Science
		Goethean science is science based on the approach of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, author of FAUST, and who is most generally known for his poetry and literature.
		As a generalization, it could be said that he was one of the first holistic thinkers, in the modern sense, to emerge in western culture.
		Lehrs surveys the development of the contemporary consesus world view of science and contrasts what he describes as the "onlooker consciousness" with the approach of Goethe, which stresses insight into how man can participate in the phenomenon.

	naturalSCIENCE Commentary: Science, the State and Freedom of Speech
		But whether this commitment of public funds to science is of overall benefit to society is as open to question now as it was in Adam Smith’s Britain of 200 years ago.
		However, the statement in Science suggests, as a reading of the entire article confirms, that no environmental or ecosystem-level changes that alter the underlying dynamics of the stock were known to be in operation.
		Thus the Science article ends with this statement: “We conclude that the effects of overfishing are, at this point, still generally reversible.” The statement in the newspaper that the decline of the stock “had nothing to do with the environment, nothing to do with seals” is, therefore, logically consistent with the statement in Science.

	Voyager - Science - Planetary Voyage
		But having doubled their already ambitious itineraries, the Voyagers returned to Earth information over the years that has revolutionized the science of planetary astronomy, helping to resolve key questions while raising intriguing new ones about the origin and evolution of the planets in our solar system.
		The Voyager mission was designed to take advantage of a rare geometric arrangement of the outer planets in the late 1970s and the 1980s which allowed for a four-planet tour for a minimum of propellant and trip time.
		From the NASA Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, Florida, Voyager 2 was launched first, on August 20, 1977; Voyager 1 was launched on a faster, shorter trajectory on September 5, 1977.

	American Atheists // Christian Science
		Although only a few Christian Science children are known to have died in Ohio in recent years, by putting the present unconstitutional religious exemption into Ohio's laws in 1977, the Christian Science Church has made it possible for other cultists legally to kill their children by faith non-healing or prayer over-dose.
		In Christian Science, absent treatment involves a "Practitioner" ("quactitioner" would be a more descriptive term) mentally (telepathically?) "taking up the case" of a patient who is not physically present beside the practitioner.
		Although the Christian Science Church never reveals statistics of its membership or of its cure rates, it has bamboozled the public so well that "absent treatment" by these quacks is reimbursable by many major insurance companies.

	Review Articles: July 1977
		Since the Panshins are themselves professional writers of science fiction and fantasy, it may not be too surprising to find that their explorations are wrapped up in their search for what they are all about, and that they have derived from this their sense of what Western civilization is all about.
		In science fiction, and in what passes for scholarship and criticism, we have always had to accept half-measures, so perhaps I should be satisfied with a compact history just short of excellent and a good set of critiques of novels for a survey course.
		Notably absent from their survey is any coverage of the figure of the scientist, the actual activity ("sciencing") of science, Kuhn's concepts of "normal" and "revolutionary" science (though Kuhn is cited), or contemporary challenges to the ruling "paradigms" of science and the sciences.

		The project Art-in-Science was sponsored by the University City Science Center in Philadelphia.
		I proposed to explore (1) tension and compression dynamics in fabric membranes, (2) develop self-supporting (hardened) fabric shells, and (3) develop soft weather structures that would not resist rain but direct water away from the area covered.
		Though the fabric is gauzelike, it provided adequate protection from rain because water ran off faster than it could drip.

	What is Cognitive Science
		1977 Cognitive Science journal was founded and the society of the same name.
		Skepticism about consciousness, qualia, free will, and the like may in part stem from the conviction that the mind must be like a computer (machine) and so cannot have those unique features.
		The role of computers has been diminishing in the past 15 years of cognitive science, while the neurosciences have integrated some computational ideas more comfortably.
