Dr. Towell explains in his Spotlight session that at the heart of scientific discovery is the gathering of evidence from experiments. More importantly it is the ability to repeat those experiments with the same results that helps formulate facts, which in turn allows for future experiments to happen.<\/p>\n

What science offers is an objective view of the world, unclouded by emotion or perspective or interpretation. But what happens when scientists dispute the “facts”? Is there room for interpretation, and if so, does that lead us down a slope of “my point of view” versus “your point of view”?<\/p>\n
