Bad science writing

Lennart Kiil — Tue, 11 Jul 2006 18:23:01 +0200

There is so much bad science writing out there, it is almost unbelievable. Bad protocols, bad commentary, bad interpretations, bad understanding. We need people who can think. We need them to have a look at these issues:

Biomimetics

Thomas Hesselberg — Tue, 07 Jun 2005 14:30:06 +0200

The cultural application of design found in nature. The field is currently in its infancy, although the basic idea is centuries old. Please, join in!

Controversial Science

Lennart Kiil — Sun, 02 Jul 2006 12:04:52 +0200

Much science is controversial within the community itself. This is to be expected. Science is a process taking place on the interface of the known and the unknown.

However, in this group we are interested in science that is controversial in a more specific way. Science that conflicts with our cultural ambitions or that otherwise have big potential consequences for the rest of society

Energy

The Earth's increasing population demands more energy, how can this need be met in a sustainable way? Discuss and share your knowledge.

Fertility

Lennart Kiil — Thu, 23 Jun 2005 11:58:45 +0200

Fertility is an area that is quickly gaining importance due to new knowledge, technology, and problems caused by changing environments and demography.

Science and Religion

Lennart Kiil — Mon, 04 Sep 2006 17:19:02 +0200

The questions of science and religion are heavely debated these days. Are they in conflict, are they seperate domains.

And so on.

This group was created to discuss and examine these issues without cluttering zenSCI for those who have no interest in the subject.

If you write about religion and science, please join this group and assign your posts to this audience.

Ideas, suggestions, tasks, improvements, maintenance, problems concerning zenSCI

SymBioSE

Lennart Kiil — Tue, 07 Jun 2005 00:34:50 +0200

SymBioSE is the annual Symposium for Biology Students from Europe.

Our main objectives are: To broaden the horizons of the participating students by excursions, workshops and lectures; to connect participants by discussions and cultural exchange; and to inform everybody about current university matters.

The science of biology will always be the running theme, but political and ethical levels lift the focus from pure science when appropriate.

SymBioSE meetings are a good occasion to exchange information and thoughts about biology, making foreign contacts and new friends.
