	Veronica Hollinger- Contemporary Trends in Science Fiction Criticism, 1980-1999
		Alkon concludes, however, that it was science which "suggested the possibility of a new aesthetics, with corresponding forms such as the future history, based upon reversal of hitherto-accepted connections between plausibility and verisimilitude" (114).
		Rose’s approach, which might be characterized as "pre-postmodern," is influenced by structuralist methodology and examines sf from the twin poles of extrapolation and metaphoricity, focusing, for the most part, on the shift in emphasis of sf’s "modernist" writers from the former to the latter.
		Science fiction is only one of many popular cultural forms which have been incorporated into contemporary cultural production as the conventional modernist boundaries between high and low have become, if not downright demolished, then at least eroded and subverted.

		Failure and sloppy science were not the only stories in science during the 1980s.
		The success stories in science in the 1980s, especially genetic engineering and computers, had broad implications for the public's sense of the natural.

	Twelve Issues for Cognitive Science – Donald Norman, 1980
		The components that gave rise to cognitive science were all present in the early part of the century, although the actual birth date occurred around 1956.
		Cognitive science was based on the hunch that human thought would turn out to resemble operations of the computer.
		Notes a paradox: the kinds of problems being examined by cognitive scientist after 1984 bear a closer relationship to the worldview of the “forefathers” of cognitive science; that is, trying to understand how the brain and the nature of computation came together.

	Science Patrol - 1980's Techno-Pop Band
		Most of the Science Patrol recordings were done late at night fueled by donuts and bad coffee, often in a nearly-inaudible environment with really terrible, loud rock bands rehearsing in the adjoining studio.
		Outside of the studio and the stage, Science Patrol gathered once a week for our "rock jams." Unlike ordinary band rehearsals, we'd get together in Rick's living room and make all sorts of spontaneous improvised music and noise, trading instruments and just having fun.

	African Science in School Curriculum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		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.

	Twelve Cognitive Issues: Norman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		In addition to the roles of culture, of social interaction, of emotions, and motivation, Norman (1980) discusses 12 concepts, or issues, must be considered in the study of Cognition.
		He asserts that Cognitive Science should adopt a broad view which includes consideration of evidence from various disciplines, such as the neurosciences, cognitive sociology and anthropology, linguistics, psychology, and the study of artificially intelligent mechanisms.
		Norman (1980) believes that the study Cognitive Science requires a more complete understanding of the interaction of various issues of concern, that no part (issue) is independent, and that the whole requires an understanding of the parts, and vice versa.

		Philosophically, "scientific creationism" or "divine creationism" is not based upon objectivelygathered data and testing of the model as required by science.
		Pedagogically, problems could result by requiring science teachers to teach as science a model of divine creationism in which they have not been trained.
		Be it, therefore, resolved that the members of the Georgia Academy of Science oppose the teaching of "creationism" in the science curriculum.

		Although the book is definitive, it is also introductory, for the authors have directed their chapters to a beginning audience of diverse readers, including undergraduates, scholars specializing in other fields, and the interested lay reader.
		The book is not encylopedic, for it does not attempt to provide all relevant factual data; rather, it attempts to interpret major developments in each of the disciplines that made up the medieval scientific world.
		Data are not absent, but their function is to support and illustrate generalizations about the changing shape of medieval science.

		That is, in my opinion, "Andromeda" is Space Opera without the deep politics of literary science fiction, or the exuberent fun of, say, "5th Element." The Nietzcheans back-stab the Commonwealth, Hunt has little choice but to order his crew to abandon ship, and fling Andromeda Ascendant into a fl hole.

	Cognitive Science Laboratory
		Until the early 1980’s, Cognitive Science aimed to explain cognitive phenomena in computational terms.
		Second, its dominant approach, the traditional symbolic paradigm, is challenged and extended by a number of competing approaches (e.g., connectionism, dynamical systems).
		Methodologically, the Laboratory focuses on the cognitive and social levels from the perspectives of Artificial Intelligence, Philosophy of Mind, and Cognitive and Social Psychology.
