Earth System Science (ESS) is becoming a standard course offering at more and more institutions replacing, or in addition to, a physical geology course. In contrast to physical geology, ESS follows a systems approach by integrating geology, meteorology, oceanography, biology, and astronomy. It is...
Many earlier publishing adventures in science had failed dismally, but Nature’s eventual success grew out of the social and scientific conditions under which it was founded — driven by the vision of strong personalities, who forged ahead when the odds seemed against them. Nature, above all, ...
How are researchers using AI? Survey reveals pros and cons for science Despite strong interest in using artificial intelligence to make research faster, easier and more accessible, researchers say they need more support to navigate its possibilities. ...
but it does offer an accessible pop-science portrait of the current state of the art in the search. This galactic age of exploration has been ongoing for some time, getting a jolt from the discovery of other worlds. It has advanced to where we are now looking for (and expecting to find...

2.1A Modern Edition of the Book of Nature The cornerstone of the scientific knowledge-generating process called science can be understood as an act of translation: quantifiable aspects of reality are transformed into formal, abstract representations which are hosted in the mind. Thus parts of reality...
