RE: The reasons why science communication benefits you as a scientist – Why talking to other people is important for your research

in #science7 years ago

I am so with you! I often have the impression, that science mostly is equalized with natural science/ applied science, but philosophy or history are not deemed as (hard) science although these disciplines provide methods of thinking and examination. And I am also not sure if science reports are too difficult to understand, in my opinion it’s just too hard for some people to distinguish between causally thinking and mere opinion. And science (indifferent which discipline) is often ambiguous and it’s difficult to live without certainties - so certainties are made in form of false facts/opinions and the equalization of thinking and believing.
