04-Jul | 8 | 11:30 - 12:30 | A3 | More Questions of Science | Richard Gardam |
Look at the science! Have you ever thought about what that means? What is science anyway? Does science hold the key to our future? What is the difference between science and technology? What is the difference between science and religion? What do scientists believe? Who or what is a scientist?These are questions which we should all be considering. The answers will inform our discussions and expectations.
What questions do you have to address to a scientist? How can we frame a question to see what ‘science’ ‘thinks’?I have some questions. Perhaps you have some questions too. By the way, the only really dumb question is the one you didn’t ask.
Everyone has a question (or two or three or more!) Let’s share some of our questions and explore some of the directions in which they take us, even towards some possible answers.
