Michael Postman is making a case against social science, he rejects the idea that social scientists do science. Science is often attributed as natural or physical science. As its name implies, this science is concerned with the study of nature – the physical and natural behaviors and phenomena without the social, cultural, or the human context or aspect. Physical and natural science works in a closed system where variables can be controlled, and the work is executed within a particular…

Students have often pushed away from STEM due to the stigma surrounding it or an inability to access technology. These factors contribute to the shortage of technical professionals that our nation faces meaning lost opportunities for the students that might like STEM and the employer. If the students can be exposed to STEM through lessons and purely having access to it , more students may have an interest. Working to solve this problem means a lot to me because without a few key people and…

accomplishment is taking part in the GMU FOCUS STEM Camp. At this five-day camp, I learned new concepts in each STEM subject. I learned new topics in science, biology, geology, chemistry, forensic science, and physics. I really enjoyed the exposure to so many topics. On the second day, I learned about topics in technology like designing on the computer, being an innovator, circuits, cyber security, and more. On the third day, I learned…

to technology I found the one thing that has always made my heart race in excitement: Computers. I remember the day I got my first computer, it was the day I graduated the fourth grade in elementary school. I was barely eight years old and my mom, a single mother since I was two years old, took me to a mall to celebrate that it was the last day of school. I remember passing by a store full of desktop computers and staring at them with longing eyes. At the time, we lived in a very small town in…

1809 and he died on September 20, 1965. He married twice once to a Margaret Howe of Gateshead and the second time to a Doris L. Reynolds. Holmes became interested in earth science at Gateshead High School. He had no children. Arthur got his college education at Imperial College but later transferred to Royal College of Science.…

The Transhumanist Memory Uploading theory suggests that uploading human memory into computer medium can help human attain immortality and acquire unlimited processing power. However, whether if the personal identity will stay consistent after memory uploading is still an undecipherable enigma. In order to better understand the nuances within…

words once spoken by Albert Szent- Gyorgi, the 1937 Nobel Prize winner in Physiology or Medicine for discovering vitamin C. With interests in biology, a large sum of my time is spent in the lab or on a computer doing research. However research doesn’t have to apply only to biology of other physical sciences. Research can apply to most aspects and studies in life. Although when initially peering into humanities one may not notice the depths of research that has been done, and is capable of being…

States has failed to produce individuals ready to enter into such a world and, more immediately, into such a workplace. To combat the lack of quality education in such areas as engineering and computer science, the United States has created many scientific programs. Through the introduction of the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) program in primary and secondary education and the Research Education for Undergraduates (REU) in tertiary education, the United States has begun to…

In Pursuit of the Unknown by Ian Stewart is about seventeen equations that have not only impacted mathematics and science but have also contributed to human advances to a great extent. According to Stewart, we generally disregard the historical link between mathematics and technological progress but this connection is integral to any complete understanding of human history. These equations are essentially based on the patterns we find in the world around us and using them one can make sense and…

Built up in 1914, PNAS distributes front line research, science news, Commentaries, Reviews, Perspectives, Colloquium Papers, and activities of the National Academy of Sciences. There was a study that was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) that states; Neanderthals could have been driven to extinction by competing with the modern humans (PNAS 2016). Archeologists have estimated…
