Assignment #2

North Arkansas College

Topic: Understanding Biology

    In a 1995 interview with Dr. Shinya Inoue, a distinguished scientist at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hill Massachusetts expressed a concern held by many scientist.  "I worry about science being learned as a collection of facts and theories.  One needs to have a certain body of knowledge, but one also needs to understand how the knowledge is acquired- that really is the heart of science".

    What have your prior experiences with science been like?  What benefits do you see in non-scientist learning about the process of science?
