Is there science going on in the US and around the world every day? Yes! And people are interested in learning about the lastest discoveries, so articles are written for the general public and shared in news outlets. These not-for-scientists articles are called science writing or scientific communication (scicom for short). Do they do a good job of representing the science in a way that people without a Ph.D. can understand but is still accurate? It depends.
Your assignment is to:
1) Find a science-in-the-news example (not a technical journal article) that relates to BIO240 topics–ecology, evolution, or the biology of organisms (not cell or DNA topics, not psychology, physics, etc.). Each student must pick a different article! You can see the other posts before you make your own so you can make sure your article is not reporting on the same news item as another students’. (If you pick an inappropriate topic or a repeat article the most points you can get is 5.)
2) Write a one-sentence summary of the article and paste the link.
3) Justify how this article relates to BIO240 topics (one sentence)
4) Discuss the level of scientific detail in the article and the quality of the article. Is there enough detail for you to understand the general idea without being too much technical detail? Is there information that you think got left out or was explained in a misleading or biased way? (2-3 sentences)
5) PIck one other students’ posted article. Read the article and their discussion, and comment on their analysis using the Reply feature. Do you agree with their assessment or disagree? What questions do you have about the article or the science reported? Do you see the connection to BIO240 content?
