The promise of science is great, but the application of new technologies often raises profound ethical questions. Answering those questions depends on both critical philosophical inquiry and good data. Unfortunately, the reliability of the science is in question. Theoretical and empirical investigations have caused many to believe that science now faces a reproducibility crisis: Much that is published by one team of scientists cannot be reproduced by another. Research ethicist Mike Kalichman, addresses the magnitude of this crisis, factors contributing to research findings that are not reproducible, and identifying strategies that will promote the rigor and reproducibility of science.

Reading With Your Kids

The burning candle water experiment is something you can do at home. See what happens when the candle burns out. Think about what you know about air pressure and how that explains what you see. You created an area of low pressure! Once the candle runs out of oxygen, the candle burns out and the air inside the glass cools down which lowers the air pressure inside the glass. Now there is a difference between the air pressure outside and inside the glass. The high pressure outside allows the water to be pushed into the lower pressure inside the glass and the water rises inside the glass. Series: "STEAM Channel" [Education] [Show ID: 36147]
