Who's Asking? : Native Science, Western Science, and Science Education
Analysis and case studies show that including different orientations toward the natural world makes for more effective scientific practice and science education. The answers to scientific questions depend on who's asking, because the questions asked and the answers sought reflect the cultural values and orientations of the questioner.These values and orientations are most often those of Western science.In Who's Asking?, Douglas Medin and Megan Bang argue that despite the widely held view that science is objective, value-neutral, and acultural, scientists do not shed their cultures at the laboratory or classroom door; their practices reflect their values, belief systems, and worldviews.Medin and Bang argue further that scientist diversity-the participation of researchers and educators with different cultural orientations-provides new perspectives and leads to more effective science and better science education. Medin and Bang compare Native American and European American orientations toward the natural world and apply these findings to science education.The European American model, they find, sees humans as separated from nature; the Native American model sees humans as part of a natural ecosystem.Medin and Bang then report on the development of ecologically oriented and community-based science education programs on the Menominee reservation in Wisconsin and at the American Indian Center of Chicago.Medin and Bang's novel argument for scientist diversity also has important implications for questions of minority underrepresentation in science.

Is science at a turning point?
Science is constantly evolving, but it does seem to be at a turning point in many ways. Advances in technology, such as artificial intelligence and gene editing, are opening up new possibilities for scientific research and discovery. Additionally, there is a growing emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration and the integration of different fields of science, which is leading to new breakthroughs. However, there are also challenges such as the need for increased funding and the ethical implications of certain scientific advancements. Overall, it seems that science is at a turning point with both great potential and significant challenges ahead.

Is computer science a natural science?
Computer science is not considered a natural science, but rather a formal science. Natural sciences, such as biology, chemistry, and physics, study the natural world and its phenomena. In contrast, computer science focuses on the study of algorithms, data structures, and the design and analysis of computational systems. While computer science may draw on principles from mathematics and engineering, it is not classified as a natural science.

How do you perceive the point of experience vs. science?
Experience and science both play important roles in understanding the world around us. Experience provides us with firsthand knowledge and personal insights, allowing us to connect with and understand the world on a more personal level. On the other hand, science provides a systematic and evidence-based approach to understanding the world, allowing us to make objective observations and draw conclusions based on empirical evidence. While experience can provide valuable subjective insights, science helps us to validate and refine our understanding of the world through rigorous testing and analysis. Both experience and science are important in gaining a comprehensive understanding of the world.

Does computer science count as a natural science?
Computer science is not typically considered a natural science, as it is more closely related to mathematics and engineering. Natural sciences typically focus on the study of the physical world and natural phenomena, while computer science deals with the design and use of computers and computational systems. However, computer science does have some overlap with natural sciences in areas like computational biology or environmental modeling.

Exploring Science Through Science Fiction
The material in this book forms the basis of an interdisciplinary, college-level course, which uses science fiction film as a vehicle for exploring science concepts.Unlike traditional introductory-level courses, the science content is arranged according to major themes in science fiction, with a deliberate progression from the highly objective and discipline-specific (e.g.Reference Frames; Physics of Space Travel and Time Travel) to the very multi-disciplinary and thought-provoking (e.g.Human Teleportation; Science and Society). Over 100 references to science fiction films and television episodes are included, spanning more than 100 years of cinematic history.Some of these are conducive to calculations (solutions included).

Exploring Science Through Science Fiction
How does Einstein’s description of space and time compare with Doctor Who? Can James Bond really escape from an armor-plated railroad car by cutting through the floor with a laser concealed in a wristwatch?What would it take to create a fully intelligent android, such as Star Trek’s Commander Data?Exploring Science Through Science Fiction addresses these and other intriguing questions, using science fiction as a springboard for discussing fundamental science concepts and cutting-edge science research.It includes references to original research papers, landmark scientific publications and technical documents, as well as a broad range of science literature at a more popular level. The revised second edition includes expanded discussions on topics such as gravitational waves and black holes, machine learning and quantum computing, gene editing, and more.In all, the second edition now features over 220 references to specific scenes in more than 160 sci-fi movies and TV episodes, spanning over 100 years of cinematic history.Designed as the primary text for a college-level course, this book will appeal to students across the fine arts, humanities, and hard sciences, as well as any reader with an interest in science and science fiction. Praise for the first edition:"This journey from science fiction to science fact provides an engaging and surprisingly approachable read..."

Is psychology a social science or a natural science?
Psychology is considered a social science because it focuses on the study of human behavior and mental processes within social and cultural contexts. It examines how individuals interact with each other and their environment, and how these interactions influence behavior and mental processes. While psychology does incorporate elements of natural science, such as the study of brain function and neurotransmitters, its primary focus on human behavior and society places it within the realm of social science.
-
Is science international?
Yes, science is international. Scientists from around the world collaborate on research projects, share their findings at international conferences, and publish their work in international journals. Science transcends borders and cultures, with researchers working together to advance knowledge and solve global challenges. International cooperation in science is essential for progress and innovation in various fields.

What do you think about the fact that many believe that faith and science are mutually exclusive?
I believe that faith and science are not mutually exclusive, but rather can complement each other. Science seeks to understand the natural world through observation and experimentation, while faith provides a framework for understanding the meaning and purpose behind the natural world. Many scientists have faith and many people of faith appreciate the insights that science provides. Both can coexist and contribute to a deeper understanding of the world around us.
