El papel de los científicos en la defensa de la democracia
Gretchen Goldman1, Erica Chenoweth2
1Gretchen Goldman is president of the Union of Concerned Scientists, Washington, DC, USA.
Resumen
La erosión democrática amenaza la empresa de ciencia y tecnología de los Estados Unidos. La construcción de instituciones independientes puede preservar la integridad científica y defender la democracia.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Ciencias políticas
- Sociología de la Ciencia
- Las políticas científicas
Sus antecedentes:
- La preeminencia científica histórica de los Estados Unidos está vinculada a su liderazgo democrático y su compromiso con la libertad de expresión.
- Los desafíos actuales surgen del desprecio por los principios democráticos y el estado de derecho dentro de los sectores de la ciencia y la tecnología de la nación.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Analizar el impacto de la erosión de los principios democráticos en las capacidades científicas y tecnológicas de una nación.
- Identificar estrategias para la comunidad científica para contrarrestar las influencias autoritarias y preservar la integridad científica.
Principales métodos:
- Análisis de precedentes históricos en los que las comunidades científicas han respondido a desafíos políticos.
- Marco conceptual para el desarrollo de instituciones alternativas para fomentar el pensamiento científico independiente.
Principales resultados:
- La ignorancia de los principios democráticos y del Estado de Derecho repercute negativamente en el sector de la ciencia y la tecnología.
- Los ejemplos históricos demuestran la eficacia de la participación proactiva de la comunidad científica.
Conclusiones:
- La comunidad científica estadounidense está posicionada para liderar los esfuerzos en la defensa de los valores democráticos dentro de la ciencia.
- El establecimiento de instituciones independientes y no gubernamentales es crucial para salvaguardar la investigación científica y los principios democráticos contra el autoritarismo.

The Scientific Method
245.6K
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...

Critical Thinking
267
Critical thinking involves reflective and productive thinking and the evaluation of evidence. Critical thinkers seek to understand the deeper meaning of ideas, question assumptions, and make independent decisions about what to believe or do. Scientists, for instance, are often critical thinkers. Critical thinking also requires humility about what we know and don't know and the motivation to look beyond the obvious. It is essential for effective problem-solving.

DNA Damage can Stall the Cell Cycle
9.3K
In response to DNA damage, cells can pause the cell cycle to assess and repair the breaks. However, the cell must check the DNA at certain critical stages during the cell cycle. If the cell cycle pauses before DNA replication, the cells will contain twice the amount of DNA. On the other hand, if cells arrest after DNA replication but before mitosis, they will contain four times the normal amount of DNA. With a host of specialized proteins at their disposal,cells must use the right protein at...
