🔬🌍Celebrating Science's Role in Shaping a Sustainable Future: World Science Day for Peace and Development. ✨ World Science Day for Peace and Development emphasizes science's impact on advancing global peace and sustainability. It encourages public involvement in scientific discussions and highlights the importance of knowledge for a better future. #UPEACE #ScienceforPeace

World Science Day for Peace and Development! On World Science Day, foster peace through innovative development. #Science #ScienceDay #WorldScienceDay #PeaceandDevelopment #WorldScienceDay2024

Great research topics about different parts of the world

I just signed the Science Declaration promoted by Curious 2024, the call to all nations to devote more resources to the advancement of science to realize the dream of a better tomorrow. The objective is to reach 1M signatures!! Sign the call here >

*World Science Day* Celebrated every 10 November, World Science Day for Peace and Development highlights the significant role of science in society and the need to engage the wider public in debates on emerging scientific issues. It also underlines the importance and relevance of science in our daily lives. By linking science more closely with society, World Science Day for Peace and Development aims to ensure that citizens are kept informed of developments in science. It also underscores the role scientists play in broadening our understanding of the remarkable, fragile planet we call home and in making our societies more sustainable. #worldsceincedayforpeaceanddevelopment

Happy World Science Week for peace and development. World science week for peace and development is celebrated in the 2nd or 3rd week of November since 1986. This week is celebrated to show the contributions that science have done to maintain world peace. Although the irony is that people have used science for more damage than maintaining peace which shouldn't have been the case. Now it's time to maintain peace through science on World Science Week for peace and development. 2024's theme is "Why Science matters-empowering minds and shaping future". As science should be used for empowerment now and positively in the future.

Why is stupidity in scientific research important? https://lnkd.in/g3-YETGJ 26 March 2020 As relevant today as it was 11 years ago, Martin Schwartz’s essay on the importance of stupidity in scientific research has reached over 1 million people to date. In an excerpt of his 2008 Journal of Cell Science essay, Martin’s message resonates as loudly now as it did then. Science makes me feel stupid. I’ve gotten used to it – so used to it, in fact, that I actively seek out new opportunities to feel stupid. I wouldn’t know what to do without that feeling. I even think it’s supposed to be this way. Let me explain. For almost all of us, one of the reasons that we liked science in high school and college is that we were good at it. That can’t be the only reason – fascination with understanding the physical world and an emotional need to discover new things has to enter into it too. But high-school and college science means taking courses, and doing well in courses means getting the right answers on tests. If you know those answers, you do well and feel smart. A PhD is a whole different thing. How could I possibly frame the questions that would lead to significant discoveries; design and interpret an experiment so that the conclusions were absolutely convincing; foresee difficulties and see ways around them, or, failing that, solve them when they occurred? My PhD project was somewhat interdisciplinary and, for a while, whenever I ran into a problem, I pestered the faculty in my department who were experts in the various disciplines that I needed. I remember the day when Henry Taube (who won the Nobel Prize two years later) told me he didn’t know how to solve the problem I was having in his area. I was a third-year graduate student and I figured that Taube knew about 1000 times more than I did. If he didn’t have the answer, nobody did. That’s when it hit me: nobody did. That’s why it was a research problem. And being my research problem, it was up to me to solve. Once I faced that fact, I solved the problem in a couple of days. The crucial lesson was that the scope of things I didn’t know wasn’t merely vast; it was, for all practical purposes, infinite. That realization, instead of being discouraging, was liberating. If our ignorance is infinite, the only possible course of action is to muddle through as best we can. The more comfortable we become with being stupid, the deeper we will wade into the unknown and the more likely we are to make big discoveries.
