Science Panel: Live-Blogging with K.C. Cole

K.C. Cole
I. Science is Everywhere. Science can comment on everything.
-what is a WMD (somehow science falls into the same category as most of the
pressing news stories).
-race (meaningless since we are all indeed related)
-eyewitness testimony. (disproven scientifically again and again)
-Terry Schiavo/Organ transplants/What is death?
-know your numbers….know the difference between numbers

II. Sometimes science doesn’t make sense.
-it is true….but we can work to make it more palatable.

III. Dare to be stupid
-science is not rocket science…!!
-usually your basic common sense will inform your article. Go with your gut. Ask
those questions…

IV. There is no such thing as a theory of everything
-please just don’t write that….it does NOT exist!
