They used publicly available data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and NASA along with story-based lessons on the science, history, tools and impact of astronomy across the spectrum from CUIP's Multiwavelength Astronomy website.
For the phenomenologist the tool and impact view of technology as well as the constructivist view of the technology/society relationships are entirely valid in their own terms but not adequate (Heidegger 1977, Borgmann 1985, Winograd and Flores 1987, Ihde 1990, Dreyfus 1992, 2001, Verbeek 2005).

This assay could serve as a tool for understanding the scope and impact of non-pneumophila Legionella species in human disease.
