Drawing Scientists

Research has indicated that pupils view scientists predominantly as white, male and dressed in laboratory coats. To investigate this belief, pupils in schools, and some postgraduate certificate in education students, were asked to draw a picture of two scientists. This is a procedure that gives more information about pupils' perceptions than the usual request for pupils to draw one. The results of this study, this paper argues, indicate that the image that pupils have of scientists is changing to show less gender bias, and to be more realistic.

Research Collaboration Among University Scientists

Despite the growing importance of collaboration in research there have been very few investigations of the practice of research collaboration itself. The study we report investigated this practice by analysing 444 collaborative projects undertaken by staff in the Science Faculty of a New Zealand university. While the results support the sociology of science model of vertical collaboration up and down the academic hierarchy, we also show that significant collaboration now takes place across levels in the hierarchy, that is among peers, in what we call horizontal collaboration. This shift from vertical to horizontal collaboration has not been readily apparent in bibliographic studies of co-authored papers in top journals. One of the questions this study raises is the often assumed positive association between collaboration, research output and research quality, and the implications such assumptions have on the institutionalisation of research within the university. We end by suggesting that the shift that is occurring in the location of research from conventional departments to research centres within the university may signal an attempt to resurrect the practice of vertical collaboration.     

试论感性与科学家

在科学家的发明创造过程中，仅仅有理性是不够的，在某种意义上感性、灵感和直觉尤为重要，它是实现发明创造关键的一环。“科学假说的产生源于超逻辑的直觉或灵感。”“逻辑是证明的工具，直觉是发明的工具”。章将“感性潜质与科学家的关系”作为立论前提，通过“科学理论框架的构建与感性、伽利略创立的科学语言与感性、爱因斯坦相对论与感性和哥德尔不完全性定理与感性”，阐述科学家发明创造中感性思维的重要性。

科学家重新思考动物的记忆天性

大象从不会忘事——抑或也会? 很长一段时间来科学家都认为动物没有所谓的短暂记忆——这种记忆可以让人类回忆起过去发生的事情。但是最近对啄木鸟、黑猩猩和大猩猩进行的实验已经使科学家对动物的记忆天性重新思考了。动物记忆研究人员首先面时在不同物种之间进行沟通的挑战。“你无法准确问清楚当巴姆比的妈妈被射杀的时候,这些动物正在那里,它们正在干什么,”英国剑桥大学研究比较认知的
