IUB Campus Writing Program Library: Articles on Writing Across the Curriculum—Science Science students often experience difficulties as a result of their inability to see that multiple interpretations of the same data can coexist. Science is difficult because it orders information from the perspective of the expert scientist, not from that of the non-scientist. From teaching an environmental science course to scientists and non-scientists alike, the author realized that scientists organize their lectures and their papers in such a way that the specific principle involved is fronted as the issue. www.iub.edu /~cwp/lib/wacsci.shtml   (3751 words)

Middle Eastern Nations Making Their Mark For the purposes of this study, Science Watch elected to exclude Israel, since the relatively large size of its scientific enterprise tends to preclude any meaningful comparison with its geographic neighbors. Oman, for example, contributed exactly zero scientific papers to the ISI database in 1981; by 2002, the nation’s scientific output was 236 papers. Egypt, in addition to its comparatively high representation in materials science, also contributed notably to the fields of chemistry, agricultural sciences, and pharmacology. www.sciencewatch.com /nov-dec2003/sw_nov-dec2003_page1.htm   (876 words)
