I would do so out of respect for others, like Wilson, who came before me, hauling to his death this same true belief in science and appreciation for the wonderful but dwindling diversity of what in the future may be found only in a textbook or on a Web site: life on Earth.
For instance, GEP students reported greater enthusiasm for research and science, greater appreciation for the process of science, and personal growth as developing scientists.
The general population's perception of health risks that require legal measures will vary according to "understandings of medical science, public appreciation of risk and public belief in the possibility of control of risk" [ 10].
In this paper, we describe the content and structure of the Phage Genomics course at Cabrini College as well as the results of pre- and postcourse surveys and focus groups that questioned students on their attitudes toward science, research, appreciation for the practice of science, and career choices.
Because the treatment (an operation) was an intervention rooted in medical science, differences in appreciation might also be attributed to a different appreciation of these sciences.
How art became a force for conservation is in some ways itself a portrait of a lost era, when science and aesthetic appreciation were interconnected subjects in the drawing rooms of the well-born classes.
Contributors to this shift could include changes in understanding of the process of science, and thus, appreciation of prior experiences, changes in teaching practice reflected in student experience, or a combination of both.
Preparing future life scientists without offering them exposure to and experience with engineering, design, computer science, and an appreciation of the broader connections between science and technology (NRC, 1998, 2003; National Academy of Engineering, 2002, 2007, 2009) will not constitute adequate preparation.
A sustainable long-term investment in science, and an appreciation of the young people who carry it out, are essential to the long-term economic and social interests of the US.
Introduce students to the interdisciplinary nature of modern science; Instill an appreciation of the quantitative skills required for the practice of modern science, regardless of discipline; Improve students' mathematical and computational skills in the context of scientific problems and issues; and Involve students in analysis of some "big-picture" issues in science.
