I Have An Idealistic View Of Science

Better Understanding Of The Natural World Not Only Enhances All Of Us As Human Beings, But Can Also Be Harnessed For The Better Good, Leading To Improved Health And Quality Of Life.

Ever Since Sir Isaac Newton's Times, Scientists Have Worked In The Same Sort Of Way: They Show A Great Respect For Experiment And Observation, They Don't Cherry Pick Data, They Take A Skeptical Approach To What They Do. And Then Scientists Work Together To Get A Consensus As To What Should Be Believed And That Generates Very Reliable Knowledge And That Reliable Knowledge Drives Innovation

Therefore, I Reasoned That Study Of The Cell Cycle Responsible For The Reproduction Of Cells Was Important And Might Even Be Illuminating About The Nature Of Life.

I Have An Idealistic View Of Science As A Liberalising And Progressive Force For Humanity.

Scientific Understanding Is Often Beautiful, A Profoundly Aesthetic Experience Which Gives Pleasure Not Unlike The Reading Of A Great Poem.
