The Science of Science
The journal Science is just that, a journal of science. It is a tremendously eclectic journal with coverage of issues in a broad range of research from geology to genetics, from evolution to basic neuroscience and from chemistry to physics. The journal exposes how little we know as we focus on our narrow slice of knowledge. Having a context for our own work generally gives a better understanding of what we are doing as well as what it impacts. To begin opening up and shaping the perceptions to our own work in the context of science in general, in this seminar the class reads the weekly issues of Science, and discusses work from a myriad of fields and the place of neuroscience in science in general.
