Scientific community

a story that is meant to shed light on the issue of how women and more specifically women of colour are treated within the scientific community. It is intended to help create understanding of the challenges facing women of colour who attempt to enter the sciences. The author describes a world which is intended to be an allegory and parallels the actual reality of scientific exploration. Subramaniam uses the template of the fairy tale Snow White to show the hierarchy that exists within science. This

Peer review is an important process used in the scientific community. Considering the high standards expected from a research study, it needs to meet certain criteria. Many journals and institutions have external and internal peer review as part of their processing and approval of research studies. We can agree that the advancements in healthcare and technology have altered the way we approach research. The facilitated access of scholar databases makes a peer review an essential step of verifying

The scientific community is always moving forward. They are always searching for answers to new questions and working on solutions to current problems. When the scientific community looks for solutions to problems or answers to questions the research, data gathering, and proposals can be a slow process. To add to the already long process, dissemination of findings and information (arguably the most important part of the process) can be a tricky obstacle to navigate. What is the target audience

Changing Methods of Explanation In the scientific community, there are numerous models used to explain data, which despite being argued over, can be used to spread knowledge. One model proposed by Hempel is the “Covering Law Model,” which can be explained when he writes: “The kind of explanation thus characterized I will call deductive nomological explanation; for it amounts to a deductive subsumption of the explanandum under principles which have the character of general laws” (Hempel, 658). Essentially

status at the University to slowly incorporate Lise into their community simply by allowing her to introduce herself and engage in complex conversation with other scientist, which showed she has no lack of knowledge. As she became a more respected individual, her work became more valuable to a wide variety of people and eventually became available for publishing. One of the major ways that Meitner proved her name in the scientific community was through her collaboration with Otto Hahn on the radioisotope

The common misconception in the scientific community is that there is only one way to get things into space- a combustion powered rocket. However, recently there have been talks and designs floating around about other methods to travel to space. Currently the technology and tools existing regarding space are seen as revolutionary and ahead of our time. However the possibility for even more advanced and efficient technology is within the grasp of humanity. We first launched a rocket to get to the

In human history there is always been what the scientific community defines as “social Darwinism”: the strongest individual or animal survives in despite of the others. The leading skills that a person needed in order to stand up from the rest were initially strength and bravery. This, later on, turned into intelligence and self-determination often accompanied by ignorance. The World has always been surrounded by uncertainties and discriminations, by vanquished and victors that spread their influence

Within the scientific community some people believe that you cannot have a scientific mind and hold to religious beliefs (p. 87). They come to this assumption because they see religious faith as a form of mental illness, which is limited to a certain population (religious people only) (p. 72).2 When reasoning logically one most understand that not all things can be proven wrong or right. Sometimes things do not lend themselves to a right or a wrong answer. However a person can see where a line

al (2015) ‘dysregulated microRNA expression is correlated with many human diseases’. This suggests that miRNAs can be used as a biomarker for cancer and some diseases such as Cardiovascular Disease (CVD). This is one of the reasons why the scientific community is interested in studying these molecules. 2. MicroRNA

various parts of the body to treat cancer or relieve its symptoms” (American Cancer Society, 2014). By examining the complications which are attempting to be solved, it is evident that the medicinal uses of radioisotopes are a global link for the scientific community. However, in
