DESCRIPTION
This unit takes a critical look at science, its past, present and future and examines how it relates to the society it serves and is perceived by scientists and non-scientists alike. The unit will explore the links between pure science and applied science which give rise to technological advances. It also considers science as culture and explores the way in which science is communicated and features in the cultural life of nations. The ethical dimension of scientific endeavours is also examined along with the importance of professionalism within the scientific community.
