By Natalie Bratset – Science Communication is an important aspect of the interpretation of scientific research. By taking a look at major SciCom fails, we can learn more about how to be good science communicators.
Scientists are trained to think in very specific ways, to focus on the individual by disconnecting our subject from the complex factors that affect it. We do this in an effort to make it easier to understand our discoveries and avoid bias. This method has brought us a wealth of knowledge about our world: helping to cure and prevent disease, develop technologies that connect us in meaningful ways, and identify and help to solve our problems. But, too often, it is seen as the only or best way of knowing. I argue that is not the case.

Space has been a fantasy I have recently been exploring. I love space-themed movies and TV shows; they provide a detailed feeling of extraterrestrial life outside the one we’ve known. Aesthetically, space can be a beautiful setting or an amazing plot point to a movie, like it is in Guardians of the Galaxy. Stories that are accompanied by the mysteries […]
By Samuel Ross, Staff Writer Human beings are a particularly resilient species. Despite all the filth we have created for ourselves, we somehow always manage to find a way to thrive comfortably. What makes this so amazing is how easily we can pull ourselves out of the grime and innovate when we really want to. Our most magnificent feats come […]
Have you ever learned something about the state of the environment that made you want to give up on life? Maybe it was the latest statistics on biodiversity loss, the realization of how much plastic is and will be in landfills for thousands of years, or maybe it was the latest and bleakest climate reports forecasting a future of environmental […]
Many students enter projects with the mentality of needing to be right and produce statistically significant results in order to be successful. But that is simply not the case
Fingerprints are like social security numbers—they hold the key to your identity. No two fingerprints are alike, and biometric scanners can even differentiate twins, no matter how similar they are. Biometrics not only reinforce security but also establish accessible and reliable records of employees’ work hours. Such technology eliminates fraudulent input of hours. Biometrics are also used in air travel. […]
