  • Do we need to discover life out there ?

     

    Do we really need to discover life in space ? What will happen when we do ? I mean , they`re not going to speak any of our languages. What happens if they are so tiny we can`t even see them or maybe they could even survive without water or oxygen .!!! What will we do if they are carnivore and could start eating us or hunting us down!    
  • 'Is science the last hope for humanity?' - continue your Science Bar debates

     

    'Is science the last hope for  humanity?' is one of the big questions in tonight's Science Bar menu. What do you think?

     

     


  • Life out side earth

     

    Science has gone far beyond imaginable. There is hopes that there could be life outside earth. We can even see the past when we look into the solar system. LIght has a finite speed before people thought it was immediate.
  • What do you think of Science Uncovered?

     

    Really great to see all those scientists out of the lab!
  • Vote for your favourite debate for Science Fight Club

     

    Our first highlighted event for the upcoming Science Uncovered 2011 is Science Fight Club

    , where pairs of scientists will duke it out for your votes. Erica McAlister, Curator of Diptera at the Museum, and Richie Abel, Imperial College London, will be facing off against each other in the first round and you can read about the topic of that bout in Erica's blog post

    .

     

    However, we want your help in deciding what else could be debated on the night. We have a few suggestions below, but let us know your favourite or suggest your own topic to help provoke intense debate on the night:

     

    1. Should specimens be permanently locked up or available for display?
    2. Should we still be collecting specimens?
    3. Is it ever justifiable for us to wipe out a species?
    4. Is it right to breed endangered animals in captivity?
    5. Should people keep pets?
    6. Which is more important to conserve: mammals or insects?
    7. Should we be trying to live longer?

     

    Once you've posted your topic or placed your vote, visit this thread

    to let us know your own views.

  • Re: Science Uncovered Fight Club debates - evolution thread

     

    Humble Bumble in the original thread

    :

     

    Looks cool! Not sure I can be in London for it but would love to be there if I am...

     

    One thing I'd love to know is whether or not researchers ever worry if they are collecting (and, therefore, possibly killing) one of the last ever representatives of a species and thus potentially wiping it out? Particularly when they are in e.g. the Amazon rainforest and it is a bug or animal that was previously unknown to us.

     

    From the seven you've suggested, numbers 3 and 6 would get my vote, but a few other suggestions for debate:

     

    • (As Dawkins is in the news again...) Does the strident atheism he represents do more harm than good for people's understanding of evolution?
    • Is it better for scientists to confront or ignore the 'anti-science' minority (e.g. Tea Party in America, anti-evolutionists, climate change deniers)? Does it damage their science if they do ignore them?
    • Given the economic hardships faced by many people in the world, is it right for humanity to undertake the expense of space exploration?

     

     

    Hi Bumble

     

    Just a comment on one of the suggestions for now (have to go to work).  My comments in red.

     

    You said:

    “…a few other suggestions for debate:

    * “Is it better for scientists to confront or ignore the 'anti-science' minority (e.g. Tea Party in America, anti-evolutionists, climate change deniers)? Does it damage their science if they do ignore them?...”

    I know nothing about the ideas of the American “Tea Party”, but to equate “anti-evolution” and “climate change denying” with “anti-science” is illogical and unscientific - even somewhat insulting to reputable scientists who hold those views.

    Re “climate change deniers”: I don’t think any earth scientist or meteorologist denies that the climate is changing. The question is whether human activity plays any significant part.  I recently read an article about sunspots, suggesting that there is likely to be global cooling, (such as happened in the “Little Ice Age” in the 16th-19th centuries), because of an extreme sunspot low.

    Re “anti-evolutionists”: There are many PhD scientists, (some are leaders in their field), who don’t believe in Evolution, for purely scientific reasons.  It has done no harm whatsoever to their science.  Many inventions and discoveries (for example, pasteurisation, and in modern times the MRI scanner) that have greatly benefited various branches of science, have been made by “anti-evolutionists”.

    Cheers

    D

     

    --------  Message was edited by: Jonathan - Natureplus host  Hi, I have branched your discussion from the original thread so that your debate doesn't overwhelm it. Feel free to carry on here but, as these topics can cause things to get (over-)heated, please remember to keep it civil. :)

  • The Science Fight Club debates - post your views here

     

    On 23 September 2011, the Science Fight Club

    debates will pit scientist against scientist and we're asking you for potential topics of debate in our other thread

    ... But what do you think are the answers to the questions we and others have posed already?

     

    Should we ever wipe out a particular species? If we had to make the choice, should we conserve mammals over insects or vice versa?

     

    Take a look at the other thread

    , place your vote, and then let us know your thoughts below.

  • Coming soon, it's 'Jars, bars and life on Mars' at Science Uncovered 2011

     

    The time is here to find out more about the upcoming Science Uncovered 2011

    . We have great things planned for our free event on Friday 23 September, with more of the Museum open, more tours, more bars and more events for you to enjoy.

     

    Over the course of the next few weeks we'll be featuring discussions and blog posts to highlight some of the night's events.

     

    We kick off by asking for your help with our Science Fight Club

    where two of the competitors, Drs Erica McAllister (our own Curator of Diptera

    ) and Richie Abel

    (Imperial College London) are shaping up to discuss whether or not museums should still keep their collections available to the public.

     

    You can join in now at this thread

    In the meantime, if you have any memories, videos or photos of last year's Science Uncovered event, or burning questions about what's due to happen this year, post them below.
