Description: In this course we will explore the simple, logical steps to acquire and extend scientific knowledge and will discuss several examples of sound, as well as flawed, scientific conclusions. We will review certain conflicts that arise between science and other major forces in our society: ideological and political beliefs, entrenched economic interests, decision of our courts of law. All along, we will attempt to develop simple but sound criteria for dealing with the task that confronts all of us: judging science.
