The Scientific Method01:32

The Scientific Method

254.5K
The scientific method is a detailed, empirical problem-solving process used by biologists and other scientists. This iterative approach involves formulating a question based on observation, developing a testable potential explanation for the observation (called a hypothesis), making and testing predictions based on the hypothesis, and using the findings to create new hypotheses and predictions.
Generally, predictions are tested using carefully-designed experiments. Based on the outcome of these...

The Scientific Method

63.5K
Chemistry is an empirical science. Scientists often pose questions to understand the chemistry in everyday life and seek answers to these questions. To achieve this, scientists follow a definitive series of steps that together make up the Scientific Method. This approach involves making observations, asking questions, building a hypothesis, conducting experiments, analyzing results, and forming a conclusion.

The Scientific Method

64.3K
Research is what makes the difference between facts and opinions. Facts are observable realities, and opinions are personal judgments, conclusions, or attitudes that may or may not be accurate. In the scientific community, facts can be established only using evidence collected through empirical research.

Psychology as a Science01:13

Psychology as a Science

3.6K
Psychology, as a scientific discipline, aims to understand the mind and behavior through rigorous and systematic methods. The foundation of psychological research is evidence-based, relying heavily on the scientific method to derive and validate knowledge. This structured approach ensures that findings are reliable, valid, and applicable to broader contexts.
The scientific method in psychology involves six critical steps: making observations, formulating hypotheses, conducting tests, analyzing...

Ethics in Research

25.2K
Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

Drug Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena01:15

Drug Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena

966
Drug dependence, abuse, and addiction are complex phenomena that can precipitate various abnormal states. Physical dependence refers to a state of pharmacological adaptation to a drug. This adaptation often results in tolerance—a reduced response to the drug after repeated administrations. When the drug use is abruptly stopped, withdrawal symptoms occur due to the body's need to readjust from the pharmacologically induced imbalance. However, tolerance and withdrawal symptoms do not...

Area of Science:

  • Biology and biomedicine
  • Scientific integrity

Background:

  • Public scientific illiteracy is exploited by misinformation.
  • Discrediting legitimate science is a growing concern on topics like vaccines and climate change.
  • Ideology and greed pervert science.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Examine misinformation patterns in biology and biomedicine.
  • Analyze intellectual dishonesty in creationism, tobacco harms, and opioid addiction denial.
  • Provide strategies for scientists to counter attacks on scientific integrity.

Main Methods:

  • Case study analysis of creationism, tobacco harms, and opioid addiction.
  • Identification of consistent patterns in scientific denialism.
  • Review of strategies used to discredit legitimate science.

Main Results:

  • Misinformation purveyors consistently use intellectual dishonesty.
  • Denial of established science on creationism, tobacco, and opioids follows predictable patterns.
  • Attacks on science aim to delegitimize findings challenging ideological positions.

Conclusions:

  • Scientists must actively confront and counter misinformation.
  • Defending the intellectual integrity of science is crucial.
  • Addressing scientific illiteracy is key to combating "alternative facts".
