Examining Brenner, Jacob, & Meselson • Grinnell – pp. 7-10 • Contrasting paper with Jacob’s The Statue Within • Linear model of science • DNA Learning Center Videos
Putting it all together… • The scientific method • Objectivity • Credibility • Real vs. School Science • Transformation of “discovery claims” • The scientific paper • Peer-review • The role of the scientific community
