Cognition and belief
Cognitive styles play a significant role in how individuals attend to, process, evaluate, and interpret information. In this study, we assessed the relationship between cognitive styles (specifically rationality and analytic holism), and religious behavior (God consciousness and formal practices) and religious orientation (intrinsic and extrinsic orientation) among 283 participants from two communities in southern Ghana. Using structural equation…
Communicating Science
Governments and scientific establishments have been encouraging the development of professional and popular science communication. This book critically examines the origin of this drive to improve communication, and discusses why simply improving scientists' communication skills and understanding of their audiences may not be enough. Written in an engaging style, and avoiding specialist jargon, this book provides an insight into science's place i…
The New Men
Science communication should include some account of doing science as well as of its product; new scientific knowledge. Fiction and drama are well placed to communicate the process of doing science although, in practice, popular novels on this theme are rare. One exception is the collectivist period in British history from the early 1930s to the late 1960s, when several science-trained authors wrote popular novels about doing science. They gave r…
Science and scientists in Victorian and Edwardian literary novels
Literary fiction has seldom been seriously considered as a mode of science communication. Here, I review novels from the 19th century canon of English literature in which characters either have, or aspire to have, substantive professional scientific roles to see what insights they provide into the practice of science in the Victorian and Edwardian eras. They reflect the historical transition of science from an intellectual hobby to a paid occupat…
Missing Links in the History and Practice of Science
L'auteur s'attache ici a decouvrir les fondements de la science en tant qu'institution sociale, domaines depuis toujours ignores, comme par exemple l'importance du travail d'equipe en recherche et le role des techniciens en laboratoire
Medroxyprogesterone acetate, nocturnal penile tumescence, laboratory arousal, and sexual acting out in a male with schizophrenia
Towards a History of Biology in the Twentieth Century
Interest in contemporary scientific history has concentrated on physics and engineering and its most obvious growth has been in America. By contrast, there has been a relative neglect of the biological sciences, especially in Great Britain. This concern with contemporary scientific history has been an autonomous growth among physical scientists and engineers. There has not yet been any significant development of an historical dimension among mode…
Oswald Avery and the Origin of Molecular Biology
It is now twenty years since James Watson published his personal account of the discovery of the structure of DNA and triggered the growing scholarly study of the roots of molecular biology. Watson himself was not concerned with the study of nucleic acids before he became directly involved but at least three detailed histories of the early development of molecular biology have subsequently appeared, together with books, papers and reviews from ot…
