friday
One of Science Friday's recent podcasts blasted the previous administration for choosing science over idealism. I don't think the argument should deter the conversation for ethics and morality in the scientific world. For those who are science worshipers, science should never be an idol that is worshiped alone. Scientists devote alot of their time and energy in what they do and are passionate voices for knowledge but tax payers should be able to designate and discuss the consequences to the community of their research.
I'm catching up on my Science Fridays. Also, though Galileo played in important part proving heliocentric theory, he was not originator. It was Copernicus. Let's not mix up our scientific history please. As it is, scientific history has too little part of our standard of knowledge.
