Summary of Entries on Science

[lhynard]

Not unexpectedly, seeing as I am a chemist, I have written about science quite a lot. Here are some recurring themes and opinions about science I have covered over 73 entries on this blog:

• Science is, first and foremost, a method.

Excellent post...one of your best!

For more reading on when science becomes more than a tool or the only valid means of knowledge, see Friedrich Hayek & Karl Popper on Scientism

thanks!

I've heard of Popper, but I don't think I've read him yet.

Why haven't you been blogging?

The overriding reason/excuse is that is has been more difficult that I anticipated pursuing hobbies or developing new habits with an infant. (working on a blog falls into both categories). That said, I am starting to regain some free time as he becomes more regular in his sleeping and I get used to juggling my new resposiblities.

A secondary reason/excuse is I am having trouble finishing off posts, largly because I am a slow and picky writer. I have 4 posts in draft, two of which are farily close to being done. There comes a point where I just need to push something out; it's not school and I am not being graded :-)

I also have migrated the site to a the wordpress mothership. I had been with a hosting service, and while not expensive, it was complete overkill for what I am doing. the wordpress site is tailored to hosting small blogs, and it is free!

Where did you get your ability to be so thorough? I can't imagine developing so many distinct areas of discussion from one topic as you have done here. Maybe this is the outline of some future book?
