The way we teach our children underestimates their potential. Curricula and standards of communication today need to be improved in a way that addresses foundational sciences first in order to meet the challenges that children require to stimulate their curiosity.
I came across an interesting set of theorems from a mathematician - Kurt Gödel - called Gödel's Incompleteness Theorems and it led me to asking if there are limits to science that would eventually lead to its obsolescence. Let's explore.
Pandemics are marked by the prevalence of a disease across a large population, including a global population. In fighting diseases, our greatest tool of offense is science and our greatest tool of defense is science communication. Yet the leadership of the United States has expressed open disagreement with our nation’s scientists and continued to push solutions that do not have the backing of science. What are the ramifications of this behavior on our society?
