Science is defined as both a systematic process for questioning and learning about the natural world through observation, experimentation, and inference, as well as the set of facts derived from this process. The goals of science are to observe phenomena, understand explanations, and make useful inferences. Scientific thinking involves asking questions, performing experiments to test hypotheses, and making inferences from the results. Key aspects of the scientific method include making observations, developing hypotheses, gathering both quantitative and qualitative data, and drawing logical inferences to link observations with prior knowledge. Scientists follow a general framework that involves asking a question, forming a hypothesis, designing experiments with independent and dependent variables, maintaining controls, analyzing results, and drawing conclusions.

The scientific method is the process scientists use to answer questions and solve problems. It involves 5 key steps:
1) Ask a question and research background information
2) Make an educated hypothesis or prediction of the answer
3) Design and conduct an experiment to test the hypothesis
4) Record, organize, and analyze the results and data
5) Draw a conclusion on whether the hypothesis was confirmed or not based on the results
The goal is to gather objective evidence that either supports or disproves the initial hypothesis through a reproducible experiment.observationinference

The document discusses the key differences between observations and inferences in scientific research. Observations involve direct observations using the senses, and can be either quantitative (involving measurements) or qualitative (involving descriptions). Inferences are interpretations or conclusions made based on observations combined with prior knowledge. The same observations can lead to different inferences from different people. Observational studies involve making observations without experimental manipulation to learn about a problem or phenomenon.Scientific inquiry

The document provides guidance for creating a scientific poster presentation. It includes templates for the typical sections of an introduction, materials and methods, results, and conclusions. Key points emphasized are keeping word counts low, using visual elements like figures and illustrations over dense text, and ensuring figures are large and legible from a distance. The overall goal is to concisely communicate the essential information and findings of a scientific study or experiment.Scientific Inquiry

Science is the process of gaining knowledge through scientific inquiry, which involves posing questions, developing hypotheses, designing experiments, collecting and analyzing data, drawing conclusions, and communicating results. A hypothesis is a proposed explanation that can be tested, while a scientific theory is a well-supported explanation that has withstood repeated testing but may later be modified or abandoned if evidence does not support it. Scientific laws describe observable patterns or relationships but do not explain why something occurs.STEPS OF THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD

The scientific method is a process used by scientists to investigate phenomena and answer questions through observation and experimentation. It has evolved over thousands of years through contributions from ancient Greek philosophers like Aristotle, Islamic scholars like Ibn al-Haytham, and later scientists like Galileo, Newton, and Popper. The modern scientific method typically involves 6 steps: asking a question, forming a hypothesis, testing the hypothesis through experiments, analyzing results, drawing conclusions, and communicating findings. This process helps organize investigations and keep them focused.Scientific method

Scientific thinking begins with making observations of natural phenomena in a careful, systematic manner. These observations produce data that can be quantitative (expressed as numbers) or qualitative (descriptive characteristics). Scientists use data to make inferences and propose hypotheses, which are testable scientific explanations. The scientific method involves identifying a problem, researching it, proposing hypotheses, designing experiments to test hypotheses, analyzing results, and drawing conclusions. Experiments aim to test only one variable at a time and identify independent and dependent variables. Repeating experiments allows scientists to determine if results can be reproduced, establishing theories that unify broad evidence. Scientific theories and laws enable predictions but may be revised as new evidence emerges.Recently uploaded (20)

APM event hosted by the South Wales and West of England Network (SWWE Network)
Speaker: Aalok Sonawala
The SWWE Regional Network were very pleased to welcome Aalok Sonawala, Head of PMO, National Programmes, Rider Levett Bucknall on 26 February, to BAWA for our first face to face event of 2025. Aalok is a member of APM’s Thames Valley Regional Network and also speaks to members of APM’s PMO Interest Network, which aims to facilitate collaboration and learning, offer unbiased advice and guidance.
Tonight, Aalok planned to discuss the importance of a PMO within project-based organisations, the different types of PMO and their key elements, PMO governance and centres of excellence.
PMO’s within an organisation can be centralised, hub and spoke with a central PMO with satellite PMOs globally, or embedded within projects. The appropriate structure will be determined by the specific business needs of the organisation. The PMO sits above PM delivery and the supply chain delivery teams.

This presentation delves into the systemic blind spots within pharmaceutical science and regulatory systems, emphasizing the significance of "inactive ingredients" and their influence on therapeutic equivalence. These blind spots, indicative of normalized systemic failures, go beyond mere chance occurrences and are ingrained deeply enough to compromise decision-making processes and erode trust.
Historical instances like the 1938 FD&C Act and the Generic Drug Scandals underscore how crisis-triggered reforms often fail to address the fundamental issues, perpetuating inefficiencies and hazards.
The narrative advocates a shift from reactive crisis management to proactive, adaptable systems prioritizing continuous enhancement. Key hurdles involve challenging outdated assumptions regarding bioavailability, inadequately funded research ventures, and the impact of vague language in regulatory frameworks.
The rise of large language models (LLMs) presents promising solutions, albeit with accompanying risks necessitating thorough validation and seamless integration.
Tackling these blind spots demands a holistic approach, embracing adaptive learning and a steadfast commitment to self-improvement. By nurturing curiosity, refining regulatory terminology, and judiciously harnessing new technologies, the pharmaceutical sector can progress towards better public health service delivery and ensure the safety, efficacy, and real-world impact of drug products.Principle and Practices of Animal Breeding || Boby Basnet

What is science?
- 2. Science defined: A systematic process for questioning and learning about the natural world AND the set of facts we have derived from that process Science is: organized controlled data-driven evidence-based skeptical systematic
- 3. Goals of Science Observe Understand Explain Make useful inferences
- 4. Are you a scientist? Do you ask QUESTIONS ? Is the door open? Do you perform EXPERIMENTS ? Check the handle. Do you make INFERENCES ? It’s locked. You are a scientist! This is a simple way to explain scientific thinking.
- 5. Thinking Scientifically 1. Make Observations Gathering information in an organized fashion Use your Senses , prior knowledge 2. Make Hypotheses Proposed explanations for an observation set Must be able to be tested 3. Gather Data Compile the observations Two categories of data: __ Quantitative _______: numbers HINT: measuring or counting __ Qualitative ___________: descriptions HINT: How does it look? Feel? Taste? Smell? Sound? Use your five senses. (If appropriate to use the sense.) 4. Draw Inferences Logical interpretations that link observations with prior knowledge or experience
- 6. Be a good scientist – There are 5-10 steps that can may be used in an experiment, there is no exact recipe, but a framework referred to as - The Scientific Method When designing an experiment remember to: Ask a question Form a hypothesis Experiment! Have a single independent variable (Manipulated; deliberately changed; factor that changes) Dependent variable (Responding; changes in response to the manipulated) Maintain a control group (if possible) Record and analyze Draw a conclusion Repeat if necessary
Editor's Notes
- #2: Write all definitions on board, and have them vote which one is correct – kudos to the group with the most votes. Click 1- Have them take down exact definition. -point out the impt words in definition Click 2- Have them take down these words as well as other terms we came up with in the brainstorming/definition steps. Describe each term
- #4: What are the goals of science or the scientific process? – jot down ideas 1 st click – share my 4 answers, add their answers to the slide…. Have them take notes…
- #5: 1 st click – You ARE a scientist….
