Choose 2 of the articles/websites below and make a commentthat reflects a reasonable understanding of at least two of the resources detailed below.

 

The catalyst questions are merely a way to jump-start your thinking about the discussion topic.

 

Catalyst Questions:

 

    Did the article you read make you rethink your assumptions about how science is done? In what way?

 

    Did the article you read change your opinion about whether or not science is a robust process of one which whould be viewed with skepticism?

 

    What is the difference between normal human uncertainty and scientific uncertainty, if any?

 

    Can scientists quantify uncertainty? That is, can a scientist assign a value or rate the confidence to which something is known scientifically? How?
