How can I help you for any subject lik maths science 

 

Who can help you better than a medical student in science!

. Find a science news report, from either a science-specific or mainstream media news source. The report must present findings from an experimental study. After reading/watching/listening to the piece, summarize the content. In your summary:

• Cite the news source and provide a link to the story

• Summarize the report •

In a paragraph, evaluate the science and the accuracy of the science reporting. Use the chart provided in the assignment link to determine:

o Does the science appear to be well designed and executed?

o Statement supported (questions Science accurate?What is the basis for the story?What is the affiliation of the scientist?What is the funding source for the study?If the hypothesis test is a correlation?Was the sample of individuals in the experiment a good cross selection of the population?Was the data collected from a relatively large number of study subjects?Were participants blind to the group they belonged to and/or the “expected outcome” of the study?)

o Is the science reporting balanced and accurate?

o Statement supported (questions Were data collectors and/or analysts blinded to the group membership of participants in the study?Is the science reporting balanced and accurate?Did the news reporter put the study in the context of other research on the same subject?)

• What audience is this article addressed to – who would care about this topic? Why did this topic gain media attention? • Writing and grammar

Important Notes

• The news report must be insect related!

• The news report must present science! (A story about someone’s home being overrun by a pest insect species is not science.)

• The news report must be about an experimental study! (If in doubt, email me and ask!) • The news report must be from the last 12 months.

Also, spend three to five sentences reflecting upon Marks'discussion of origin myths. Science is one way of understanding theworld around us, but it is not the only way. What does science helpus learn about the origin of species? What can other origin storiestell us about our place in the world? Can these different ways ofunderstanding the world co-exist?
